Higher and Degree Apprenticeships

Discover how the University of Brighton is creating and delivering higher and degree apprenticeships to meet the needs of large businesses, SMEs and public-sector employers, and how you can get involved.

Our apprenticeship training programmes are an innovative and cost-effective way to upskill your workforce and attract new talent. Designed by employers for employers, they combine work with part-time university study, enabling you to rapidly embed the skills you need in the workplace.

Higher and degree apprenticeships are for employees over the age of 18 who want to get ahead in the workplace and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
