practical



some students decide to take a year out before starting university.degree
apprenticeships are a relatively new initiative. the aim of a degree apprenticeship
is, as the name suggests, to combine the academic aspects of a university degree
with the practical experience and application of an apprenticeship.
although they are primarily targeted at school leavers aged 18-19, degree
apprenticeships are also suitable for 16 to 18-year-olds and mature students,
including those who have already completed a lower-level apprenticeship and
wish to enhance their career prospects through further study.as with other
apprenticeships, the training costs and student fees will be covered by the
government and your employer. degree apprentices are not eligible for student
loans, and you must therefore cover your own living costs. however, with the
opportunity to earn up to £500 per week as part of the scheme, you will be
receiving financial support of some form.
the majority of degree apprenticeships focus on stem subjects (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics), however there are others available.
the full list available is as follows:
while the university's roots date back to 1858, when john ruskin opened the
cambridge school of art, anglia ruskin focuses on student's futures. anglia ruskin
is located in 3 vibrant cities – cambridge, chelmsford and peterborough – with
opportunities to study and work in partnership elsewhere, too.


requirements



 applicants are admitted to the university based on an assessment of their capacity
to achieve the entry requirements and complete their course. the university
considers a student’s personal statement, references, achievement at gcse and
predicted grades.
 applicants not awarded a place on an honours degree may be offered a place on
a foundation degree, or an extended degree with a foundation year, if one is
available in a similar subject.
 as level examinations provide a useful indication of applicants’ progress at level
3 study; however a lack of as grades does not disadvantage applicants as the
university considers all aspects of the application including reference and level
2 (gcse) achievement.
 the university prefers a level applicants to have achieved a minimum of 3 a levels,
unless combining a level study with another type of level 3 qualification such as
btec.
