- No tuition fees and no student loan

- A stepping stone to Levels 5, 6 and 7
Who it's for

Common questions
What's the difference between higher and degree apprenticeships?
Higher apprenticeships run from Level 4 upwards. Once you reach Level 6 you're earning a full bachelor's degree, which is what people usually mean by a degree apprenticeship.
Do I pay tuition fees?
No. Your employer and the government cover the training costs, so you finish without student debt.
