Study Higher and Degree Apprenticeships

Waterfront Building reflecting in the marina

The University have been delivering Higher and Degree apprenticeships in Suffolk since 2017 and are rated the 5th highest university provider nationally for its overall qualification apprenticeship achievement among small-medium sized providers. We were also Ofsted rated ‘Good’ in 2022.

We are committed to ensuring that our Higher and Degree apprenticeship graduates complete their qualification confidently equipped with the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours to help them thrive in their area of expertise, whilst also meeting the needs of employers across Suffolk and beyond. Apprenticeships form part of the institutional vision of empowering force for individual and community growth and development.

Why choose an apprenticeship? 

Available to individuals of all ages, apprenticeships offer an ‘earn while you learn’ approach though a combination of theoretical learning and hands-on training in a professional setting, whilst also providing opportunities for upskilling and retraining existing workers.

We offer a range of apprenticeships across different subject areas. For details on how to apply and for more information, please contact us at apprenticeships@uos.ac.uk
