What is a Degree Apprenticeship?
A degree apprenticeship is a practical alternative to traditional university study. It combines full-time employment with part-time academic learning. Designed for those ready to progress, these programmes integrate theory with real workplace experience. You’ll continue in your current role while studying part-time, immediately applying new knowledge and skills on the job.
How does it work?
You’ll balance work and study with your employer’s support, who will release you for one day and one evening each week to attend taught sessions.
Learning is delivered through a mix of:
- Interactive lectures
- Tutorials and workshops
Assessment is varied and designed to reflect real-world practice, including:
- Assignments (practical and theoretical)
- Reports and presentations
- Project work
- Portfolios
- Team-based activities
