Deloitte or PwC Degree Apprenticeship

I have two degree apprenticeship offers, both in Digital and Technology Solutions with PwC and Deloitte. I am unsure which to pick as they are both very valuable companies to work for and start a career. For context, Deloitte offers the degree with Ada College and has a duration of 3 years and PwC offers the degree from Queen Mary University which is a 4 year course. I am leaning towards PwC because Queen Mary is a russel group university and I would have the privilege of experiencing university as a normal student as opposed to Ada college that doesn't exactly reflect a normal student experience because it is a smaller education provider, not really an actual university.

I think the PwC apprenticeship is better mainly because of the university

Also, I have a question, so if you apply for both degree apprenticeships , do they each take up 1 UCAS choice? So 2 out of the 5 university choices are gone? Or is degree apprenticeships different?

PwC has a unique application process to other companies. They require you to submit an application directly to their partner universities via UCAS. All other degree apprenticeships I have applied for were through the company and were normally an application form plus CV/ cover letter. So for Deloitte I applied through their website.

Congrats for getting into both, but i'd choose PwC. I feel like you'd get the most out of that one.

Ohhh that makes sense! So does that mean the Deloitte apprenticeship doesn’t actually give you a degree unlike the PwC one?

No you get the exact same degree, it’s just from different education providers/ universities. Which means the structure of the program/ duration/ teaching style would be different.

Hi, could you tell me how you got the offer for the degree apprenticeship at Queen Marys because I would like to apply for the same thing.
