Our Software Engineering GA degree programme has been designed in partnership with industry and draws upon global research on work-based learning best practice.

Importantly, our employer partners are recruiting now and the window for students to apply for 2020 extends into the Summer. Barclays alone are recruiting 47 Tech GAs with us and other big name and exciting tech companies are coming online soon. You can view our vacancies here.

To highlight a few benefits:

• Graduate Apprentices benefit from a job, a salary (starting salary circa £15k) and a degree (Software Engineering BSc Hons) at the same time.
• Applicants apply directly to the employers therefore not impacting UCAS submissions.
• The degree course is funded by Skills Development Scotland.
• The GA is 4 years with the time split between the employer and the university.
• The apprentices have a strong on campus university experience through our block learning programme in years 1 and 2
• There are options to specialise in Data Science, Cyber Security, or Systems Engineering in years 3 and 4

We also flex a little on our entry requirement accepting B’s rather than our straight A norm. This really opens the opportunity for more students to attain a Russell Group University degree and consider options beyond a traditional route. It is a great option for students for whom Maths, Sciences and ICT related subjects are their strong point.

We would be grateful if you could share this information with your teaching staff, parent community and students.

A member of the GA team would be happy to pop on a call to answer questions.
