Degree Apprenticeship
We are a leading provider of Degree Apprenticeships, having pioneered the introduction of the scheme in the UK.
Designed in conjunction with employers and professional bodies to fill skill gaps in business and industry, apprenticeships give learners the knowledge and know-how to further their career and obtain a full degree.
All of the learning is designed so apprentices can directly apply their new knowledge and skills in the workplace on a day-to-day basis. Personal and professional performance will also improve with the support of coaches and mentors from both Aston University and their employer.
Aston University became the first university to have Degree Apprenticeship graduates, in July 2017. Our apprenticeships deliver excellent outcomes for both learners and their employers – with 88% of our graduates achieving a first-class or 2:1 degree.
Currently, we have over 1200 Degree Apprentices studying with us, working at organisations across the UK. We have ambitious plans to grow our intake year on year, creating more opportunities for learners and business to succeed.
We take pride in our approach to Degree Apprenticeships. Here are some key highlights of our programme:
