Degree Apprenticeship with small business

A small company I have done work experience with has offered to fund a degree apprenticeship for me in a university near where I live. I would like to do some form of engineering, but I do not do maths and have recently found out that pretty much every degree is asking for it. I am wondering if there is a way that I could get around this requirement due to it being a degree apprenticeship, so only part time, e.g doing the foundation year the same time as the first year or maybe I wouldn’t need maths because it is a degree apprenticeship. If anyone can offer any advice I would be very grateful as I can’t find much information at all about degree apprenticeships with small businesses.

Hey if you trust the company will support you it'll be fine, I do data without maths or any experience in tech, the entry requirements are set by the university however, as theyre already being funded they usually dont mind as long as the company that's sponsoring you doesn't mind, just be weary, its a lot of work you need to make sure the company is equipped to deal with an apprentice especially a degree apprentice, good luck tho and well done!
