BCU degree apprenticeships

Did you know that BCU offers degree apprenticeships in lots of different subjects but the application isn’t the same as applying for an undergraduate course. Here is a guide on how to apply to simplify the process:

1. Figure out which industry you'd like to work in
Degree apprenticeships are becoming popular in lots of industries. Some of the most popular sectors are Business, Administration, Law, Health, Public Services and Engineering. New vacancies appear all the time in sectors ranging from travel and tourism to agriculture, so it’s worth looking for vacancies in any area you’re interested in.

2. Look for vacancies
Start looking for jobs early but don’t worry if you don’t find what you’re looking for immediately. There isn’t an application deadline for degree apprenticeships, so companies can advertise vacancies throughout the year. Most are advertised in January and February, but you can start looking around a year before you want to start your apprenticeship.

You can search UCAS, Gov.uk and Prospects for apprenticeship vacancies. You can also check companies’ websites directly. Some popular degree apprenticeship providers include BT, Royal Navy, PWC and Amazon.

3. Apply
You can apply for as many apprenticeship opportunities as you like! You’ll be applying directly to the employers, so each application will vary. You may be asked to fill in an application form, submit a CV and cover letter and attend an assessment centre and/or interview.

4. Wait to see if you’ve been successful Just like universities, your degree apprenticeship provider will want to see if you have the grades required to study on the degree course, so you’ll need to wait until results day to see if you’re successful.

Good luck if you are applying for degree apprenticeships and ask any questions below that you have!
