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.
