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.

Why partner with the University of Brighton?

As a leading professional university we are passionate about developing career-focused education that responds to the needs of today’s employers and employees.

With the majority of our courses already leading to professional recognition or accreditation for our students, and extensive experience of working in partnership with statutory and regulatory bodies, we are in an ideal position to provide the highest-quality apprenticeship training.

Today, the University of Brighton is delivering higher and degree apprenticeships in partnership with major employers, and developing many more with employer trailblazer groups.
