What Universities Do Degree Apprenticeships

You may have heard that more universities are starting to offer degree apprenticeships, but there is no information on the university’s website or UCAS Search.

The number of schools offering degree apprenticeships is increasing, but they are being created in conjunction with certain companies. For example, companies work with universities to develop a customised degree programme that leads to a degree but is tailored to the company’s specific academic and vocational needs. 

In other cases, schools are working with smaller business consortia to create a curriculum that will benefit the whole group.

Consequently, the recruitment of degree apprentices is handled in the same way that a job application is by the companies’ HR and recruiting departments. The companies themselves promote to prospective students.

The amount of university study needed varies depending on the degree you apply for, so you might work four days a week and attend university one day a week, or you could work for three months and then study for three months. Each programme is distinct.
