Degree apprenticeships (Level 6)

A degree apprenticeship gets you the same bachelor's degree as a full-time student — awarded by a university — but your employer pays the fees and you earn a salary the whole way through. You graduate with a degree, several years of experience and no student debt.

What you get

  • A full bachelor's degree from a university
  • Zero tuition fees and no student loan
  • Three to six years of paid, relevant work experience by the time you graduate
  • Highly competitive — applications often open a year ahead

Who it's for

Anyone with A-Levels, a T-Level or a Level 3 apprenticeship who wants a degree without the debt.

Common questions

Do I get a real degree?

Yes — the same bachelor's degree, awarded by a university, as a full-time student on that course.

How competitive are degree apprenticeships?

Very. Big employers often receive hundreds of applications per place, and vacancies typically appear up to a year before the start date, so apply early.

Do I still get the university experience?

You'll usually spend time on campus (day release or block release), but you won't have the full-time student lifestyle. You will have a salary, a career head start and no debt.
