How to get into degree apprenticeship

Hello , I am a student who got very good grades recently for my gcses and I'm wondering how i can get a degree apprenticeship when im done with A levels
i got majority 7s and 8s in gcse and im planning on doing a level maths, chem,compsci and an additional epq. Id like to know how hard it is to get into a degree apprenticeship engineering related and how the application works and if i can do anything to help improve my application if possible.

Hi there, I got 8 degree apprenticeship offers including offers from engineering companies such as JLR, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Amey so I can definitely help out.
Degree apprenticeships are really competitive to get into because more and more people are finding out about them (quite frequently, there are thousands of people applying to roles). However, if you know the right tactics, then you can make yourself stand out as a candidate and ace the application process. What I'll do is, I'll drop a few resources down below which will help you more than I'd be able to explain in this post.
The Degree Apprenticeship Application Process
The process is completely separate from UCAS/university applications. It can differ slightly for each company but usually consists of these stages:

Here's a video which breaks down exactly how to pass every single one of those stages of the application process - https://youtu.be/WeJaiSYChjg

How to improve your application
1) Get work experience - work experience was the number 1 part of my applications to get me 8 degree apprenticeship offers. And the bigger the company you do work experience with, the better. So here's a list of work experience opportunities which are available right now (including some big companies) - https://sumptuous-book-021.notion.site/Best-work-experience-for-DEGREE-APPRENTICESHIP-APPLICATIONS-928aea8fa48441df9755d76afef8e470?pvs=4
2) Do other things such as volunteering and online courses to show off your skills, dedication and interest. Here's a checklist of 5 things I'd recommend you do to stand out as a candidate - https://youtu.be/gcKZMLmqUsw
Hope those resources help you and good luck in your journey to get a degree apprenticeship. All the best

Hello, I’m about to apply this year for a degree apprenticeship. I’m wondering how you find the experience. I’m interested in materials or software engineering, and wondered if the uni workload is manageable whilst you are working,How far might you commute, Can you leave after a year if you decide it’s not right for you, and also how to stand out during your application.

Hey, let me answer your questions below:
how you find the experience

I’m interested in materials or software engineering, and wondered if the uni workload is manageable whilst you are working - personally, I've found it perfectly manageable and I haven't had to do any work in the evenings or on weekends. However, if you don't manage your time properly, you might find it tough. I made a video talking more about the degree apprenticeship workload and how best to manage it.

How far might you commute - as far as you want although realistically it would be probably be 1hr max each way per day. You can always relocate as well if you live too far away from an apprenticeship you're looking at.
Can you leave after a year if you decide it’s not right for you - yes, you're allowed in your contract to leave at any time.
how to stand out during your application - work experience, online courses, volunteering etc. like I mentioned before. Also, just being prepared during the application process. If you've got an interview coming up, ensure you've done mock interviews with an expert. Similarly, if you've got a group exercise coming up, make sure you've watched a YouTube tutorial on how to succeed.
Hope that answers your questions.
