To apply for an degree apprenticeship, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have left full time education when the apprenticeship starts
• Have the right to work in the UK and ensure any visa is valid for the duration of the whole degree apprenticeship
• Have achieved GCSE Mathematics and English at grade 4/C or equivalent before completing the apprenticeship
• Meet one of the below residency requirements:

- UK nationals - UK nationals are eligible for funding if they have been ordinarily resident in the UK, the British Overseas Territories, or Crown Dependencies (Channel Islands and Isle of Man) for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship.

- UK nationals in the EEA - UK nationals who have been living in the EEA prior to their apprenticeships are eligible for funding if they have been ordinarily resident in the EEA for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship; or, have been ordinarily resident in a combination of the UK and EEA for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship.

- EEA nationals in the UK - Irish nationals are eligible for funding if they have been ordinarily resident in the UK, Ireland, or the EEA for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship.

- All other EEA nationals are eligible for funding if they have obtained either pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme; and have been ordinarily resident in the EEA, Gibraltar, or the UK for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship.

- Please note there are other residency criteria that cover a range of individual circumstances, for example family members of UK and EEA nationals. Please contact the Apprenticeships Team at apprenticeships@warwick.ac.uk if you feel the above points have not covered your situation.

Each apprenticeship will also have specific academic entry requirements set by the University and the employer which you would also need to achieve.

A Degree Apprenticeship will be identified as a full-time programme if the duration of the course and the number of credits studied per year is the same as an equivalent non-DA (traditional degree) programme.

Where no such equivalent course exists, the duration and number of credits studied on the DA will be assessed against the typical length of a similar non-DA qualification.

If the DA does not satisfy these requirements, then the programme will be classified as part-time.

Yes, you’ll be entitled to at least the National Minimum Wage for your age. Many employers pay more, with quite competitive starting salaries and this is something you should check when looking for opportunities to apply for.

Generally, your Degree Apprenticeship will take between two and five years, the length varies from programme to programme.

Whilst at work, you could live at home or if needed move closer to your place of work.

At Warwick, during off-the-job training, you might live in student halls of residence (this may not be the case for all universities).
