A degree apprenticeship gets you a full bachelor's or master's degree, a salary, and several years of real work experience at the same time — with your tuition fees paid by your employer and the government, not by you.
How it actually works
You are employed full-time from day one, and typically spend around 20% of your paid working time studying, either at a university or through a training provider, usually over three to six years depending on the course and level.
The real trade-offs
You earn a salary and avoid a tuition fee loan entirely, but competition for places at well-known employers is intense — often higher than for the equivalent university course — and you commit to a specific employer and role earlier than you would on a standard degree.
How we help
We help you find live vacancies that match your subject interests, prepare a genuinely competitive application (these are assessed more like a graduate job application than a UCAS form), and decide honestly whether an apprenticeship or a traditional degree route suits your situation better.
