Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship provides great benefits to employers and employees alike, boosting your staff's capabilities through a combination of academic study and on-the-job training.

The University of Brighton has been developing and delivering degree apprenticeships since 2016. These programmes are designed by employers for employers, meeting the needs of the public and private sector while improving staff development and retention. 

Our apprentices combine work with part-time university study and develop through on-the-job learning with work-based projects relevant to their organisation. Programmes are offered through a combination of face-to-face and digital learning.

Our apprenticeship programmes

Our apprenticeship programmes range from business and management to education, construction, engineering and the built environment, and health and science.

What is a degree apprenticeship?

Higher and degree apprenticeships are jobs with industry-led educational programmes attached that lead to university qualifications. An apprenticeship is a three-way partnership between an education provider (the University of Brighton), an employer, and an apprentice, who could be an existing employee or a new hire. 

Apprentices spend most of their time at the workplace in a relevant professional role, with 20% of their time (usually one day per week) released for university study. The University of Brighton offers level 5, 6 and 7 apprenticeships, equivalent to foundation, bachelors and masters degrees respectively.

The apprenticeship is amazing. I’m learning loads from my tutors, but I also get a great deal from my fellow students as we all work in different settings. This course is so flexible you can tailor it to suit all of the different working environments.
