Since the launch of our degree apprenticeships in 2018, we have developed them in strategic areas aligned with industry skills gaps to support local, regional and national businesses to develop highly skilled graduates. Developing strong relationships with our employers is our strength; we collaborate with them on our degree apprenticeship programmes to ensure they meet their needs:

• Level 7 Advanced Clinical Practitioner

• Level 7 Architect

• Level 6 Data Scientist

• Level 6 Electro-mechanical Engineer

As an institution, we believe in the power of a research-led education. Being a part of the prestigious Russell Group universities sets us apart and enables our apprentices to access a high calibre education with world-class research underpinning our programmes.

Our excellent employer relationships are at the heart of what we do; we bring together businesses from SMEs to multinational organisations to create connections across industries. We believe in close collaboration to create a degree apprenticeship community whether that’s regular feedback, events or industry panels enabling our partner employers to share insights and benefit from peer-to-peer support.

Watch our case study with Cosy Direct, a local SME, to see how a degree apprenticeship has transformed their business and given their apprentice an early year career boost: 

We’d like to extend our thanks to our partner employers, apprentices and staff for their contribution to this achievement; together we’re making business better and shaping the future.

See you at the awards ceremony! We’re excited to celebrate with employers and apprentices on 3 October 2024 at the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Apprenticeship Awards ceremony and encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for the winners.
