Information for apprentices
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.
