2026 UK Degree Apprenticeship Programme in London

Are you ready to start your career journey with purpose, passion, and possibility? Our apprenticeships offer more than just a job - they’re an opportunity to shape your future. These opportunities are for those who have A-levels or equivalent and looking to undertake a degree apprenticeship (level 6). We will close for applications on 31st December. These opportunities are for our offices in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales. Please browse all opportunities before starting your application as we will accept one application per candidate.

In your application form, you will be asked to select your preferred discipline, sector, and location, so please read the descriptions below, as this may help you decide which opportunity is right for you.

If you are successful and are offered an apprenticeship with us, we will inform you who the training provider or university will be for that particular opportunity. These providers will have their own grade entry requirements, so we’re unable to list them all here. However, for our civil engineering opportunities, most providers will expect you to have achieved a Grade C as a minimum A-level in Mathematics and/or one of the sciences. These subjects aren’t essential for the other role types, so please list your achieved/expected qualifications in your application form so we can check your eligibility.

As a paid apprentice, you’ll gain hands-on experience working on real-world projects that make a difference. Alongside your role, you’ll complete classroom-based learning - either in person or virtually - with a reputable college, university, or training provider. Upon completion, you’ll earn a nationally recognised qualification that leads onto exciting career opportunities. Our degree apprenticeships typically last around five years, depending on the course, and are designed to help you grow both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a team that’s shaping tomorrow’s world - whether that’s through innovation, sustainability, or community impact.
