University of Birmingham is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 8 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (5% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning Business and administration, Construction and the built environment, Digital, Engineering and manufacturing and Health and science.

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 8 standards Birmingham can deliver, 2 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 6 are Level 7 (master's level). 5 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 (2 standards), followed by Engineering and manufacturing (2) — a larger spread than 50% of the 104 universities on the provider register.

Typical durations run from 24 to 60 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £12,000 to £27,000.

7 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including British Computer Society, The Institution of Civil Engineers, The Geological Society, The NMC approves institutions that can provide midwife education and sets standards for programmes that lead to registration as a midwife in the UK. Only practitioners registered with the statutory regulator, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), can use the legally protected title of Midwife. All midwifery apprenticeship programmes must meet the Nursing and Midwifery (2019) Standards for pre-registration midwifery programmes and the Standards of proficiency. In respect of the skills to be met within the apprenticeship programmes, these must align to Domain 6 of NMC (2019) Standards of Proficiency., Chartered Management Institute and The Institute of Leadership, and 2 courses lead to a regulated profession.
