To join a Degree Apprenticeship programme you need to apply directly to the company you wish to work for – you do not apply via the UCAS application system. If you are already employed, talk to your employer about Degree Apprenticeship opportunities.

Follow these steps to apply for a degree apprenticeship:

• Browse our professional partners page, where you can see the companies we are currently working with, and apply for vacancies via their websites
  
  
• Apply for the job: each employer will have their own application process, but it would typically involve a covering letter and CV, and you may be invited to attend an assessment centre
  
  
• Complete your application: Once you’ve signed a contract with your employer, you need to fill in the University application form and enrol on the course. This would normally happen a couple of months before the programme starts.
