DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS
General Information: The Basics
You don't need to choose between a work-based learning route and going to University - choose a Degree Apprenticeship or Work and Study route, such as Network75.
​
Benefits:
Earn a salary while you study
Get a full degree (and even, sometimes, a Master's Degree)
Graduate with high quality work experience
Potential to secure a job once you graduated
Graduate with NO student debt (as fees are usually covered by the employer or the government!)
​
Vacancies for a September start usually start to become available from January onwards. However, do your research as each Apprenticeship will have its own deadline and start date.
​
If there is an employer you would like to work for who don't currently offer Degree Apprenticeships, approach them and see if they would like to sign up to a Uni Degree Apprenticeship scheme and offer you a position!
​
Degree Apprenticeship - Apply to Employer or on UCAS depending on the opportunity.
If looking at Network75, apply directly to Network75 (at Uni of South Wales) who will help you find an employer!

DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS AT LEADING UNIVERSITIES
The list of Universities that offer Degree Apprenticeships is ever-growing.
Typically each University works with employers close to their site so you can take courses and work. So your two options are either, to look for a University and see what programmes they offer (if any), or look into the companies you want to work for and see if they offer Degree Apprenticeship programmes at a University local to them.
