Degree apprenticeships are apprenticeships where you also study part-time for a degree whilst gaining work experience. You'll usually work on the job for 3 days a week and studying for 2 days, but this depends on the employer.
There are many companies that offer degree apprenticeships, including BT, GSK, Morrisons, Amazon and DHL.
