Degree Apprenticeships

What is a Degree Apprenticeship?

A Degree Apprenticeship offers an alternative route into higher education, allowing you to combine work with part-time study. These programmes lead to a full BSc or BA Honours degree and typically lasts for 3 or 4 years. The courses are designed in collaboration with employers to ensure they meet industry needs.

Benefits

• Earn While You Learn: You are paid for both your work and study, with salaries varying depending on the employer. Many employers offer at least £20,000 per year.
• No Tuition Fees: Your tuition fees are covered by your employer and the government, so you can focus on your studies without financial stress.
• Extensive Work Experience: Gain valuable work experience throughout your course, which often leads to a permanent job after graduation.
