Degree Apprenticeships in North Wales

The benefits are that:

• You’ll get real-life experience working alongside your degree.
• Your degree is fully paid for, so there’s no cost to you.
• You’ll get paid a salary just like a normal employee.

However, there are also some things to consider:

• You’ll need to balance working and studying at the same time.
• You won’t qualify for any student loans.
• Apprentices don’t always get the traditional ‘university experience’.

Assessments test your ability to do your job as well as academic learning, so it’s not just about coursework or exams.

You will spend around 20% of your time studying vs. 80% if your time working.

You must be aged 18 or older, and have the required grades.

However, employers are also looking for other skills you can bring to the role, like communication, leadership and passion.
