Degree Apprenticeships Briefing

Solutions

We don’t just generate ideas, but also solutions.

Our approach and strategic, cross-sector network linking universities, business and government is unlike any other. We bring our members together to leverage the skills and talent fostered by our universities and to strengthen further the UK’s world-class research and development.

Degree Apprenticeships are co-designed by employers and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The programmes involve a combination of vocational and higher education learning, in which both academic and occupational proficiencies are tested, and for which the attainment of a degree is an integral part of the course.

This briefing offers insights into what Degree Apprenticeships are, as well as how they are organised, the reasons for their development and the sectors in which they are most prominent.
