University of Greater Manchester is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 18 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (10% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning Business and administration, Care services, 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 18 standards Greater Manchester can deliver, 16 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 2 are Level 7 (master's level). 12 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 Construction and the built environment (5 standards), followed by Health and science (5) — a larger spread than 86% 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.
9 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including Engineering Council in partnership with the Joint Board of Moderator professional engineering institutions, British Computer Society, Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), IMechE and IET, and 4 courses lead to a regulated profession.
