National Apprenticeship Week 2026
National Apprenticeship Week 2026
Our Degree Apprenticeship provision continues to smash targets and national averages, which we are rightly proud of. This would not be possible without the relationship with our employer partners and our apprentices; this is further reflected in our current positive feedback of 87% and 85% respectively. In 2025, the achievement rates of our apprenticeship standards rose to 84%, 24% above the national benchmark.
We were also inspected for our role as an End Point Assessment Organisation, and received an outstanding report, reflecting on our assessment practices with our learners. Our apprentices tell us about their onward progression, realising some incredible career ambitions, as a direct result of their apprenticeship journey. All of this reflects Warwick's dedication in providing high-quality education and our commitment to provide apprentices with industry related skills and knowledge, not just for today, but into the future and beyond.
Apprentice Insight
As part of National Apprenticeship Week 2026, we’re proud to share real stories from our degree apprentices.
In this section, you’ll hear directly from apprentices about their experiences of combining academic study with meaningful work. From developing skills for life and professional confidence to applying learning in real-world settings, these insights showcase the impact degree apprenticeships can have on both individuals and organisations.
Each story offers a unique perspective on what it means to earn, learn, and lead as a degree apprentice at the University of Warwick.
