University can be an expensive business, but there is a way to get a degree and earn money. Since 2015, degree apprenticeships have offered an alternative route into both higher education and the world of work. Companies partner with universities and give you the chance to earn a salary while you study.
Degree apprentices spend about 80% of their time doing practical work, usually about 35 hours a week, and about 20% on their studies. These arrangements tend to last from approximately three to six years, with legal/solicitor apprenticeships being the longest courses.
