Higher & Degree Apprenticeships
Higher and Degree Apprenticeships
- They offer an alternative route to higher education for those who would prefer to start employment
- The individual does not apply directly to the University but instead finds a job with an employer who is recruiting apprentices in the field of study
- 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
- Apprentices 18 or over and living in a London borough could get subsidised travel in their first year of an Apprenticeship. See the TFL website for details
