Degree apprenticeships

Offer ambitious employees the prospect of a world-class degree without the debt. 

We work with local, regional and national businesses to understand strategic priorities and challenges, and develop the content of each programme to offer real value. We can tailor the programme to a sector, or even specifically adapt it for your business. 

We are currently developing a range of degree apprenticeships in the following areas: 

• Management
• Healthcare
• Scientific careers
• Engineering
• Digital and Computer Science

To find out more about the range of degree apprenticeship programmes, or to you develop a course for your organisation, contact our degree apprenticeships team.

A world-class degree without the debt

Degree apprenticeships offer you the chance to combine a job with a programme of academic study that awards a Bachelors or Masters-level qualification. And all whilst earning a salary.  

As an apprentice, you'll undertake on and off-the-job learning to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours relevant to your job. 

If you're in employment and interested in undertaking a degree apprenticeship, speak to your employer in the first instance. If you're not in employment, you can apply for a job that's advertised as an apprenticeship, or  talk to us about specific programmes. 

Basic eligibility requirements

To be eligible for a degree apprenticeship, you must be:

• Over 16 and live in England or a citizen of EEA countries.
• A non-EEA citizen legally resident in the UK for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship and have the right to work in England.
• Employed and spend at least 50% of working hours in England over the duration of the apprenticeship.

There will be additional academic entry requirements specific to each programme.
