Degree Apprenticeships combine the best aspects of higher education with vocational training. They offer a debt-free route to academic study whilst earning a salary, and allow apprentices to graduate ‘work-ready’ with experience on real-life projects.

Employers who regularly advertise degree apprentice opportunities in conjunction with our Electromechanical Engineering BEng include AtkinsRéalis, Cummins, DHL, Schneider Electric, RBSL and GE Vernova.

As a degree apprentice you will be a full salaried employee. You’ll be working as part of a team with real responsibility giving you hands-on, vocational training every day. At work, you will be supported in your role by both your line manager and employer mentor.

Our programme has been set-up to accommodation both school leavers (new entrants directly into the business) and existing staff (for upskilling).

A Level:

AAA grades at A level, to include Mathematics and a Physical Science. Applicants with strong profile, but without A level Mathematics will be subject to passing a Maths assessment

BTEC:

BTEC Diploma grade D*D*, with an A grade A level Mathematics, or subject to passing a Maths assessment

BTEC Extended Diploma grade DDD, including two Mathematics units or subject to passing a Maths assessment

Candidates with non-traditional qualifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be dependent on the employer’s recruitment process, and subject to passing appropriate assessment on Mathematics set by The University of Warwick. We encourage applicants with non-standard qualifications to contact us to discuss their eligibility. For any questions relating to entry requirements please contact a member of the admissions team via eng dot apprenticeships at warwick dot ac dot uk.

A BEng degree requires students to be assessed on 360 credits of modules. Over the five years of the programme the module titles and their credit loadings are those listed below. 15 credit modules are for taught work that has blended teaching activities. The 30 and 60 credit modules are for project work that will be centred on integrated work based activities that you have had or will be experiencing on-the-job with your employer.

The exact make-up of the Electromechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship programme will be developed in partnership with your employer, and this may result in minor alterations to this structure and/or individual modules.

Degree apprenticeships offer apprentices a debt-free route to academic study whilst earning a salary. As an employee of a company, the University fees will be funded by way of the UK government's Apprenticeship Levy, and this funding will be part of your employment conditions.

If you’re over 16 and live in England then you may be eligible to undertake a Degree Apprenticeship. Citizens of EEA countries, or non-EEA citizens legally resident in the UK for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship (NOT for educational purpose), may also be eligible.

The BEng Electromechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship (EMDA) is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Measurement and Control (InstMC). Full information is available here.
