In a nutshell, Degree Apprenticeships are where you are employed by a company and complete either day release (e.g. 1 day a week) or block release (e.g. 2 week blocks) at university studying towards a degree. They are usually 4-5 years long but this can vary depending on employer and sector.

Just to confirm, would you be looking at degree apprenticeships in the finance/banking/accounting sector? Or something more closely related to medicine?
