Apprenticeships


Established in 2017/18, in its first year of operation (2018/19), the Centre of Apprenticeships and Skills generated an income of around £1.5 million. We will continue to invest in our apprenticeships offer as an area of significance for growth.


Key achievements in 2018/19


We successfully developed Apprenticeship programmes for Police Constables, Nursing Associates and Registered Nurses, Social Workers and Teachers. This work was part of the University’s Degree Apprenticeship Development Fund project, ‘Access to public sector professions in London through degree apprenticeships’.


We won contracts to deliver:


— Police Constable Degree Apprenticeships partnering with Sussex and Surrey Police and Hampshire Police to deliver the apprenticeship, which will provide a new route into the policing profession. This will be delivered as part of a consortium with Portsmouth, Canterbury Christ Church and Cumbria universities


— Nursing Associate and Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeships with a wide range of London NHS Trusts. Our Nursing Associates training programme has been shortlisted for the Nursing Midwifery Council best nursing associate training programme


— Business to Business Sales Professional Degree Apprenticeships, working with employers such as Royal Mail, BT, Whitbread and BAE systems. We were the first UK university to win these contracts.


We published research into ‘Best practice for work-integrated learning in the public sector’, detailing outcomes from our Degree Apprenticeship Development Fund project. The research was launched at our national ‘Building on best practice for public sector degree apprenticeships’ conference in September 2018.


We are already recognised internationally as a leader in work-integrated and practice-based learning. Higher and degree apprenticeships provide the opportunity for us to continue to apply this expertise and innovate in this key area. By collaborating with public and private sector employers, we can bring higher education to people who may never have considered it an option before.


Integrating work and learning is a vital part of preparing the workforce for the fourth industrial revolution. Practice-based learning will help professionals develop the higher-level skills future employers need. Importantly, apprenticeships encourage employers to invest in the professional development of new and existing staff.


The University has been accredited by training provider Advance HE to deliver our own Higher Education Academy recognition scheme. This is an opportunity for us to ensure that expertise in learning and teaching is prioritised.


Our aim for apprenticeships is to increase productivity and social mobility at universities and in the workplace. We are working with organisations at national, regional and local levels, such as Universities UK, the University Vocational Awards Council (UVAC), Million+, the Office for Students, the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education and the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.
