A degree apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to gain a paid-for degree while getting industry experience and earning a salary.
Degree and Higher Apprenticeships are a new way of combining full-time paid work with part-time university-level study. Degree Apprenticeships are paid for by employers, so they are ideal for people currently in employment who want to study towards an Honours Degree while keeping their job and income
As an apprentice, you’ll spend most of the time learning in the workplace, and then around 20% in the classroom.
Apprentices are taught via lectures and seminars in the classroom, e-learning and real-world, on-the-job training. UCW’s Higher Education Library Plus (HE.LP) team also deliver a series of sessions on degree-level research and academic writing to all first-year students.
Apprentices are also expected to learn through independent self-study, which involves working on individual and group projects, and undertaking research in preparation for coursework and exams.
