Systems Engineering Degree Apprenticeship Review

Depends on the placement e.g. Documentation, Meetings, Brainstorming, Modelling and diagrams (MBSE), hands on with equipment, evaluating work etc. College aspect specialises in electronics engineering.

MBSE, Systems Engineering, Electronics engineering, People and Presentation Skills, Programming e.g. SQL, general engineering skills.

Excellent programme, very enjoyable with great people and I am constantly developing. Potential, lack of in-depth, low-level engineering, but nonetheless great.

My experience is quite well structured with regular 6 month placements. College aspect has gotten messy in my last year, however this was down to the college, and work have been doing their best to help.

Consistent attempt to help your development and care for you as a person.

Depends on the teacher. The college itself has tried to get a new teacher and looks like they have finally resolved the issue. Generally however, they set up someone to ensure you pass your apprenticeship criteria. So overall good.

Difficult as our college course specialises in ground level electronics whereas work focuses on higher-level integration. Both give me good breadth and college helps me think about new ideas to bring into work.

Lots of socials e.g. nights out, football, badminton, rock climbing, etc.

Yes

As my manager who has been in the company for decades said, BAE Systems is the land of opportunities.

Be proactive, question the standard practices, and value the impact you as an apprentice can have.
