UCW and UWE Bristol work closely with fantastic companies such as Rolls-Royce, GKN Aerospace, Atkins and the Ministry of Defence to deliver Degree Apprenticeships across a number of engineering disciplines.

Our apprentices are part of UCW just like any other student, so they also have access to our other campuses and all of the support services we offer.

We work with companies to make sure that apprentices gain skills and knowledge relevant to their roles and also that these newly-learned skills are beneficial to their employer.

UCW can also help employers at every step of the process, from recruitment, applications and interviews to implementation of the programme, assessment and support on an ongoing basis.

Course options

• BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering (Design) | 4 years
• BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering (Manufacturing) | 4 or 5 years
• BEng (Hons) Electro-Mechanical | 4 or 5 years

You will be assessed both as an individual and a group, which will include written assignments, exams, a portfolio, report and presentation. 

There will be a wide range of opportunities that apprentices can be involved with in a structured career path, such as building, civil engineering and specialist occupations.

Qualification Requirements

• A Levels at BBC or above including Maths and at least one science or technology subject, or a T Level at Pass, or a BTEC Extended Diploma at DMM including Further Mathematics, or equivalent.
