Information for apprentices
Our Higher and Degree Apprenticeships are developed by employers, professional bodies and the University. They allow you to work as an employee while you study part time, combining academic study from a traditional university degree with practical on-the-job experience and employment skills you need for a successful career.
There are many other benefits to studying on an apprenticeship programme, some of which include:
- enhancing your career development, which plays a crucial role in boosting your earning potential by equipping you with the skills and knowledge needed to advance in your field
- helping you to position yourself ahead of the competition through th development of these relevant sector-specific skills, making you a more attractive candidate
- affordability, as the government and many employers will offer support by covering tuition fees, allowing you to invest in your future without substanial financial costs.
