Degree apprenticeship

For the postsecondary system in the United States, see apprenticeship degree.

In 2015, the UK Government ^{[1] [2]} rolled out the degree apprenticeship programme in England and Wales which was developed as part of the higher apprenticeship standard. The programme is the equivalent of a master's or bachelor's degree which offers a level 6 – 7 qualification. ^[3] Training for this qualification includes working in a full-time job as well as studying at a partner university or training provider. The equivalent programme in Scotland launched in 2016 is given the alternative name of a graduate apprenticeship, and is administered by Skills Development Scotland,

In 2022, Euan Blair's company Multiverse became the first solely apprenticeship provider to receive powers to award degrees. ^{[4] [5]}

Requirements

Degree apprenticeships have been designed for learners 18 years of age or older.

Candidates interested in this programme must already have a level-3 qualification such as an advanced apprenticeship, A levels or an International Baccalaureate. However, some programmes may require further training.
