University of Warwick

The University of Warwick is a Russell Group university that delivers an extensive portfolio of degree apprenticeships alongside its wider higher education and professional development offer. Warwick’s degree apprenticeships combine academic study with work-based learning, enabling apprentices to earn a salary while gaining a university-level qualification, with tuition fees typically funded via the UK Apprenticeship Levy and employers’ training budgets. Programmes are offered across several departments, including Engineering, Computer Science, WMG and the Centre for Lifelong Learning, with subject areas such as civil and infrastructure engineering, electromechanical engineering, manufacturing, and social work. These programmes are designed both for new entrants and for upskilling existing staff, aligning teaching with employer requirements and industry accreditation where applicable. Warwick supports apprentices through a mix of remote learning and on-campus teaching, giving access to state-of-the-art facilities such as the dedicated Degree Apprenticeship Centre, specialist laboratories, and collaborative learning spaces. The university also offers internal apprenticeship opportunities for its own staff across a range of roles and levels, using apprenticeships as a structured route for professional development and leadership progression.
