University of Staffordshire is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 20 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (12% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning Business and administration, Care services, Digital, Education and early years, Engineering and manufacturing, Health and science and Protective services.
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 20 standards Staffordshire can deliver, 17 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 3 are Level 7 (master's level). 14 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 Health and science (7 standards), followed by Business and administration (3) — a larger spread than 90% of the 104 universities on the provider register.
Typical durations run from 9 to 48 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £9,000 to £27,000.
15 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including Institute of Biomedical Science, Science Council for Registered Scientist, British Computer Society, Academy for Healthcare Science, Institute of Physics and Engineering Medicine and The Science Council, and 9 courses lead to a regulated profession.
