Apprenticeships

Choose from undergraduate (Level 6) and Masters (Level 7) degree apprenticeships.

Interested in doing a degree in your field of employment and earn while you learn?

A degree apprenticeship at Sussex gives you the practical experience and academic skills to boost your career. Our research strength and industry collaborations underpin our teaching, giving you a competitive edge. Partnering with local employers, we tailor degree apprenticeships so businesses can upskill their staff while keeping them in the workforce.

On an apprenticeship, you’ll:

• earn a salary while you learn without incurring debt
• gain a degree from a respected university while working in your field
• develop your career and improve your earning potential
• spend around one day a week at university and the rest at work.

Apprenticeship levels have equivalent educational levels:

• Level 6 is an undergraduate degree
• Level 7 is a Masters degree.

You’ll need to be in work already to apply for an apprenticeship role. Speak to your employer about a degree apprenticeship as development. If you aren’t in a job, you can search for advertised apprentice positions or contact employers you'd like to work for to find out about apprenticeship vacancies.

Apprenticeships are funded by the apprenticeship levy. This means your employer can use UK Government funding to cover the costs of your training, while you earn a degree without paying tuition fees.

When you graduate, you’ll be confident to bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the workforce – opening doors to advance your career.
