Higher and Degree Apprenticeships provide you with an excellent opportunity to study towards a degree while working and earning.

Apprenticeships are a fantastic opportunity as an alternative route into Higher Education without the debt or as a way to upskill your qualifications with the support of your existing employer to further your career.

To be eligible for an Apprenticeship you will need to be in paid employment either full time or part time in a relevant job role to the apprenticeship course you're applying for.

If you are a prospective apprentice who wants a head-start in the workplace, we're here to guide you through your options. If you are an employer, looking to develop new recruits or reskill/upskill qualified staff, please see our information for employers on our website.

We currently offer apprenticeships in the following subject areas:

• Computer science and electronic engineering
• Health and social care
• Sport, rehabilitation and exercise sciences
