3 year engineering degree apprenticeship

Has anyone ever (or know anyone who has) completed or is completing a 3 year degree apprenticeship programme, specifically in engineering. What was the work load like studying for your degree while working?

Hi there,

Not many degree apprenticeships are 3 years. Because you have to fit all of the university work into 20% of your time whilst you have a full time job in the other 80%, most are 4-6 years. JLR for example is a 4 year apprenticeship programme.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Through my research I have found that this is the case, but I have applied to a 3 years and 3 months apprenticeship that says you will gain a bachelors in aeronautical and manufacturing engineering by the end of it. I thought this was a little strange but that’s definitely what it says so I was wondering if anyone have ever been in the same position.

Yes sometimes they aren't a full year. I know some which last t years and 6 months.
