University of Sheffield is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 9 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (5% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning 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 9 standards Sheffield can deliver, 8 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 1 is Level 7 (master's level). 8 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 Engineering and manufacturing (5 standards), followed by Health and science (4) — a larger spread than 54% of the 104 universities on the provider register.
Typical durations run from 36 to 48 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £12,000 to £27,000.
8 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including Institute of Mechanical Engineers, Institution of Engineering Technology, Royal Aeronautical Society, Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), IMechE and IET, and 3 courses lead to a regulated profession.
