You will not be able to apply for a student loan.
You will earn money while you work towards your apprenticeship.
You will be paid a salary which is appropriate to your job role and will be at least the minimum apprenticeship wage.
You’ll achieve the same qualification as those who take a traditional route. This may include a BA, BSc, BEng, MA, MSc or MEng.
Your apprenticeship may take longer to complete than a traditional degree course as you are studying part time.
You’ll gain real-life work experience and essential life skills.
You will still get the university experience, just on a part time basis.
DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!
“The degree apprenticeship has
contributed a lot to gaining greater
knowledge of different aspects of my
role, touching on things I’ve done
previously and teaching me things
that I haven’t learnt before in the
workplace.”

offers four years in industry,

my peers when applying for
future jobs.”
