Degree apprenticeship

In 2015 the UK government^[1][2] rolled out the degree apprenticeship programme in England and Wales which was developed as part of the higher apprenticeship standard. The programme is the equivalent of a master's or bachelor's degree which offers a level 6 – 7 qualification.^[3] Training for this qualification includes working in a full-time job as well as studying at a partner university or training provider. The equivalent programme in Scotland launched in 2016 is given the alternative name of a graduate apprenticeship, and is administered by Skills Development Scotland,

In 2022 Euan Blair's company Multiverse became the first solely apprenticeship provider to receive powers to award degrees.^[4][5]
