Apprenticeships - University of East London (UEL)

UEL is at the forefront of universities offering apprenticeship degrees, working with national and local employers to give individuals pioneering opportunities to ‘earn and learn’.

Strong links with industry

Many national and international employers have been making substantial contributions to the development of our programmes.
Flexibility is the key

Apprentices with appropriate accredited Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications will be able to gain advanced entry to their chosen programme.
Global recognition

Our programmes are accredited by leading professional bodies such as the CMI, Tech Partnership, ICE, IStructE, CIHT and IHE.

The employer and government meet the training fees. This means the apprentice can be tuition fee free
They provide employers the opportunity to grow their own talent in professional roles either by upskilling existing employees or by engaging new staff as apprentices
Apprentices can gain a full Foundation Degree (Level 4) Bachelor’s (Level 6) or Master’s (Level 7) and several years of work experience at the same time
Study at UEL fits around the job commitment and is agreed with the employer
