Apprenticeship vs University

Hello, I have an offer to study Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bath and I also have an offer to be an Manufacturing Engineering Degree Apprentice with Kohler Mira where I would be studying at UWE Bristol to gain a BEng Mechanical Engineering with Manufacturing.

I am slightly leaning towards the Degree apprenticeship as I don't mind which Engineering I do (whether Aerospace or Mechanical) but also because of getting 4 years of work experience plus no student debt and a salary on top of it. Also the graduate job market is very saturated and not a lot of people who graduate get a job, having to wait up to 18 months to find one.

Any advice or suggestions is welcomed. Which one should I choose?

I would say if you had like an Oxford or Cambridge offer, then definitely take that, but even though Bath isn't bad, 4 years experience ahead of your peers and having no 10k debt + 2k wage puts you like 120k above everyone else by the end of the course, so I'd say take the apprenticeship.
Unless you want to slow down and enjoy the uni life and socialise more, then maybe Uni
