University of Bath

The University of Bath offers apprenticeship training that combines academic study with practical workplace learning to help organisations develop workforce skills and improve productivity. Its degree apprenticeship provision is designed in partnership with employers, with current delivery focused on postgraduate-level programmes such as the MSc Clinical Associate in Psychology. Apprentices benefit from flexible study models, including day-release or block-release attendance on campus, interactive online learning at a distance, or blended options, enabling them to apply and embed new knowledge directly in their roles. The University works with employers to upskill existing staff via apprenticeship pathways and uses its Quality Assurance Code of Practice to maintain academic standards and the quality of apprenticeship delivery. It also publishes clear policies for subcontracting, employer complaints and safeguarding, outlining how it manages ESFA-funded apprenticeship activity and how it supports the safety and wellbeing of apprentices. Employers can contact the University’s apprenticeships team to explore collaboration on tailored degree apprenticeship solutions aligned to organisational needs.
