10 Years of Apprenticeship Excellence

Empowering learners, strengthening organisations and building the workforce of tomorrow.

For the past 10 years, Northumbria University has proudly delivered Higher and Degree Apprenticeships, helping to transform careers, strengthen organisations and develop the skills needed for the future.

As one of the UK’s leading apprenticeship training providers, we work in close partnership with employers to deliver high-quality programmes that combine flexible university study with valuable workplace learning. Our ever-growing portfolio spans a wide range of sectors, offering employers the opportunity to recruit new talent or upskill existing employees, while learners gain a full undergraduate or postgraduate degree, or degree-level qualification.

As we celebrate a decade of apprenticeship delivery, we invite you to explore our recent case studies from businesses and apprentices who have experienced the impact first-hand. These stories highlight how our programmes support workforce development, improve retention and equip individuals with the skills, knowledge and mindset to thrive in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

Applications for September 2026 are now open and must be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than 30 June 2026. Contact us today to discuss how our apprenticeships can support your workforce development and future skills needs.
