Technology Degree Apprentice Review

My day-to-day role, throughout the academic year is to study computer science as a normal university student. In the summers and in my 3rd year placement, I am put into a team as an intern. We are given options as to what team we'd like, after learning about them briefly throughout the year.

I've been given the opportunity to join several types of tech teams, broadening my options and of course, I do a degree during the year.

Very much so!! The team supporting us is very helpful and I've made many amazing friends on the course too, who work and study as I do.

Quite structured. However, maybe because of covid, our first placement was less organised, with us being put into any teams that might not even be tech related.

A lot. We each have a career coach on placement, a tech buddy to reach out to, as well as our lecturers and the team who organises our placements. Everyone is happy to help you and the older years are a great source of information

My lecturers are amazing, with some going out of there way to make tech for girls, more accessible and less uneasy.

I get a degree at the end, which opens a lot of doors for after. However, the degree is usually not relevant on placement

Very many. You can get involved with everything, as a normal uni student does. Many societies to join, as well as the computer science department, doing things every so often.

Yes

An amazing company with so much to teach you!! And this apprenticeship gives me the best of both worlds- working and studying.
