Apprentices train on the job with their employer and complete their academic study with a local university through day or block release or distance learning. It can take between three and six years to complete a degree apprenticeship, depending on the programme.
Opportunities are available in a number of sectors and more programmes are being developed. Which? University have produced a guide which includes a list of sectors and occupations where degree apprenticeships are available.
Entry requirements
Entry requirements are set by the employer and can vary. For a level 6 degree apprenticeship, employers may look for English and Maths GCSEs and A Levels or an equivalent qualification at level 3.
For a level 7 degree apprenticeship, you will need to have completed an appropriate level 6 qualification. Check with training providers for individual entry requirements.
