‘ I quickly fell into the routine and structure of the course with the help and guidance from my lecturers , through gaining more understanding of each module in depth . ’

Georgina Sillence , BA ( Hons ) Business Leadership and Management ( Degree Apprenticeship )

Degree apprenticeships give you a balance of academic learning and on‐the‐job practical training . So you ’ ll complete your apprenticeship with the knowledge , skills and experience your employer needs , now and in the future .

What is a degree apprenticeship ?

A chance to give your employer your absolute best . You ' ll be able to work in a paid role , while studying on your degree apprenticeship , so you can work and study at the same time .

Developed by employers , professional organisations and universities , degree apprenticeships are suitable for both new recruits and established employees . They should not be confused with Foundation degrees or Learning at Work programmes ( see page 154 ).

What are the advantages ?

On our degree apprenticeship courses , you can :

• combine academic study at university with practical on-the-job experience in your day-to-day job

• develop the employment skills and experience required for a successful career , including project management , problem-solving and leadership abilities

• earn while you learn – and save money too , as your employer will cover your tuition fees , while also paying you a salary

• apply what you learn to real-life situations in the workplace

How it works

• You ’ ll be recruited by your employer as a degree apprentice or a current employee seeking professional development

• Degree apprenticeships take between one and five years to complete , depending on the course you take , your existing qualification and experience level

• You may go to university one day a week ( for around 30 weeks every year ) and work with your employer on the other four , but there are alternative delivery options
