The Government Economic Service Degree Apprenticeship Programme (GESDAP) is the UK’s first economics degree apprenticeship. It gives students the opportunity to gain valuable experience whilst receiving a fee-free degree from The University of Kent.

The programme offers a unique opportunity to work in a central government department or agency on some of the most important social, environmental, and economic issues our country faces, whilst studying for a degree in economics. You could be working on issues like:

  • How can government support UK businesses to compete in a changing world?
  • How can government support people to kick-start their lives after prison?
  • How can government act to protect the environment?

Our apprentices usually spend four days per week working in their government department, and one day studying online with the University of Kent. Our first cohort of apprentices graduated in 2023 and 97% achieved a 2:1 degree or above!

Please refer to the eligibility criteria in the job advert once applications open.
