Yes that’s great when you apply for the jp morgan degree apprenticeship in order to be as successful as you can make sure you be yourself that’s the most important aspect. Also you would want to research about the company and make sure you prepare for interview questions and have good answers for them. Also you need to make sure your CV stands out and is nice and to the point keeping it simple yet outlining yourself with your skills, work experience and about yourself.

If anyone finds any vacancies/ information please post it here, and a general question why have you personally decided to opt for a degree apprenticeship?

I am going for it because it's more of an advantage for a role like Software Engineering, grew up impoverished and really need money going to a normally university and getting in debt would put me in a worse situation.

Most importantly be yourself during the interview, companies value diversity you don't want to give robotic or very similar answers to everyone else, let your unique life dictate that.

Keep an out from October they should be opening, I don't think there are any vacancies at the moment.

But if anyone does apply to a company please post it here.

May I also ask if anyone has done any work placement for software engineering or what programming languages you guys know?

Pretty sure 99 percent of degree apprenticeships don't take up a UCAS choice as it's directly applied through the employer or a job site however for PwC flying start it takes a slot.
