Apprenticeships
Why choose an apprenticeship with BCU?
Higher and degree apprenticeships are a high-quality alternative to a traditional university degree. They allow apprentices to achieve a higher education qualification while working full-time and gaining experience in the workplace.
We work with over 400 national and local partners to help apprentices earn as they learn, developing the skills employers are looking for.
Our apprenticeship programmes build on Birmingham City University’s strong track record in workplace training, partnering with leading employers like Jewson, Mitchells & Butlers, and Greene King.
