This is a relatively new type of qualification, which leads to a full undergraduate degree as part of an apprenticeship. It is important to check the full details of a given apprenticeship with the employer and training provider. These courses are a good fit for students who want to gain work experience rather than studying full-time at university, but would like to achieve the same degree status.

Students need to be highly committed – competition can be fierce and entry qualifications can be high. If you’re considering this option, you may want to keep your options open by making an application to a full-time university degree through UCAS at the same time.
