Assessing and improving the student experience


Ofsted carried out an early monitoring inspection of our Nursing Associate and Construction Degree Apprenticeships provision at level 5. The outcomes were very favourable and concluded that we are making reasonable progress across all categories.


All Middlesex University apprentices are full-time students, but they learn ‘on-the-job’ in the workplace. We work with employers to make sure that all their learning is integrated and the apprentice learning experience is as fulfilling as our campus-based programmes. We are investing in online learning so that our apprenticeships are as accessible, adaptable and integrated as possible.


Leading research and sharing knowledge


As part of a consortium with the UVAC, Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Staffordshire, we are leading research into Degree Apprenticeships. The consortium were awarded £100,000 from education charity Edge Foundation. The research will help form recommendations about how higher education institutions can adapt intelligently to providing degree apprenticeships. Middlesex will focus on public sector nursing, Sheffield Hallam on engineering and Staffordshire on the digital sector. This builds on our strong record of collaborating with UVAC and other universities around apprenticeships and skills.


We are working with Health Education England on a research project to feed into a national strategy for basic and transversal skills development in the health and care workforce. This research is directly relevant to apprenticeships but has wider potential impact relating to the role of transversal skills development.


Working with partners


Our commitment to partnerships and cross-sector collaboration features in the major new Universities UK report ‘Routes to high-level skills’. The report highlights that the best way to engage with employers around the creation of degree apprenticeships is to develop a way to meet their needs across different qualification levels and states that this cannot be done by either universities or colleges working alone.


We also co-chair the Higher Education Employer Trailblazer Group, which provides information for all institutions and organisations in the higher education sector. The consortium includes representatives from more than 100 universities, private providers, mission groups and sector bodies.
