    Graduate Apprenticeships

    Graduate Apprenticeships (GA) provide you the opportunity to be in full-time employment whilst also studying for an Honours Degree. You can either look for a new job or enrol through your current employer, and there are no fees to pay for you or the employer for the duration of the course.


    Graduate Apprenticeships are designed to benefit both the apprentice and Scottish businesses.  What you do in work counts towards your degree, allowing you to concurrently develop your academic knowledge and skills development in the workplace.
