University of Worcester is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 7 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (4% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning Care services 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 7 standards Worcester can deliver, 6 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 1 is Level 7 (master's level). 7 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 (6 standards), followed by Care services (1) — a larger spread than 44% 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 £26,000.
5 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including The NMC approves institutions that can provide midwife education and sets standards for programmes that lead to registration as a midwife in the UK.
