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 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.

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

## Requirements

[edit]

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.
