Entry requirements

Individual employers will set the selection criteria for their apprenticeships. In addition to this, a UK second-class honours degree (or equivalent) in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or Applied Science will be required. Relevant work experience may also be considered, in combination with a degree, for qualifications below second-class honours. To study for a formal award with us you will need to demonstrate that you can communicate effectively in English in an academic environment prior to the start of the course. Most applicants meet our English language requirements by having previously obtained a higher education level qualification from a UK university. Applicants without UK qualifications can usually meet the English requirement through employment in the UK (a minimum of 5 years continuous employment immediately prior to the start of the course is required), providing you can supply a reference from your current employer which explicitly confirms you are able to communicate effectively in English.

Intake: March and October

Duration: 3 years part-time
