Aston University is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 14 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (8% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning Business and administration, Construction and the built environment, Digital, Engineering and manufacturing, Health and science, Legal, finance and accounting, Sales, marketing and procurement and Transport and logistics.
Registration means the university may deliver the standard — actual vacancies depend on employer partnerships each cycle. Check the university's apprenticeship pages for live programmes.
The portfolio in numbers
Of the 14 standards Aston can deliver, 11 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 3 are Level 7 (master's level). 10 lead to an integrated degree, where the degree is part of the apprenticeship itself rather than a separate qualification alongside it.
The portfolio leans towards Business and administration (3 standards), followed by Engineering and manufacturing (3) — a larger spread than 71% of the 104 universities on the provider register.
Typical durations run from 18 to 60 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £14,000 to £27,000.
15 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including Institute of Financial Accountants, Institute of Mechanical Engineers, Institution of Engineering Technology, Royal Aeronautical Society, British Computer Society and Academy for Healthcare Science.
