What are university level apprenticeships?
University level apprenticeships are programmes offered from Level 4 to Level 7. They provide an excellent alternative to university for school leavers with Level 3 qualifications (e.g. A Levels) who prefer industry-led education over a more academic approach.
They are also a beneficial choice for individuals already employed who wish to upskill, reskill, and advance their careers.
