What is a Degree Apprenticeship?

  • Typically, five years in duration (honours degree), the degree is completed at a partner university and is underpinned by paid employment as a degree apprentice.
  • In a degree apprenticeship, individuals work for an organisation on a full-time basis while simultaneously studying for a degree. This work-study arrangement allows apprentices to apply their learning directly in a real-world work environment, gaining practical skills and experience that complement their academic studies.
