Degree Apprenticeships are a great new way for employers to upskill existing members of staff with degree-level skills and knowledge in the key areas needed to grow their businesses. They combine full-time paid work with part-time academic study and, when completed, result in the apprentice being awarded an Honours Degree at Level 6.
The engineering courses at UCW are delivered in the fantastic facilities on offer at our South West Skills Campus, with one workshop alone containing engineering equipment worth more than £1 million. Our apprentices are part of UCW just like any other student, so they also have access to our other campuses and all of the support services we offer.
UCW and UWE Bristol work closely with fantastic companies such as Rolls-Royce, GKN Aerospace, Airbus and the Ministry of Defence, to deliver Degree Apprenticeships across a number of engineering disciplines. The degree apprenticeships at UCW have been developed alongside employers, ensuring that apprentices gain the skills, knowledge and behaviours that are needed to work within the industry and to meet local skills needs. They combine full-time paid work with part-time academic study and, when completed, you will have achieved a BEng (Hons) Degree at Level 6. UCW apprentices are an integral part of the university centre, so they also have access to our other campuses and the support services we offer.
