Apprenticeship Opportunities
Grow your skills. Grow your career
At our University, we’re committed to nurturing talent and helping our people thrive. Apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity, blending your current role with structured training and academic study.
They’re designed to help you build new capabilities, gain industry-recognised qualifications, and contribute meaningfully to the University’s success.
Whether you're advancing in your current career path or exploring a new direction, we’ll support you in finding an apprenticeship that aligns with your goals and aspirations.
What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a fully funded development programme that combines hands-on experience with formal learning. You remain in your current role, continue to earn your salary, and work towards a qualification that’s directly relevant to your job.
These programmes are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, a government initiative aimed at supporting workforce development across all sectors.
Apprenticeships are available at various levels, from entry-level to postgraduate, and are tailored to help you grow professionally while contributing to the University’s aspirations.
Why choose an Apprenticeship?
- Achieve a nationally recognised qualification that enhances your professional credibility.
- Build knowledge, skills, and behaviours that are directly applicable to your role and future career.
- Learn from expert tutors and experienced mentors who guide your development.
- Apply your learning in real-time, solving practical challenges in your day-to-day work.
- Advance your career within the University, opening doors to new opportunities and responsibilities.
Understanding 'Off-the-Job' Training
A key component of every apprenticeship is ‘off-the-job’ training, dedicated time for learning that takes place outside your usual work duties. This typically makes up 20% of your working hours and can include:
- Attending lectures, webinars, or workshops
- Completing coursework, assignments, or research projects
- Participating in job shadowing or mentoring sessions
- Engaging in structured training provided by your learning provider
