Your experience

When you graduate, you can apply for professional recognition from organisations aligned to your programme such as the Chartered Institute of IT (BCS), Chartered Management Institute (CMI) or Association of Project Management (APM).

During your studies you will be allocated a Work-based Learning Tutor by the University and a workplace mentor by your employer to help guide you through your apprenticeship and ensuring your progress is on track with regular 1 to 1 sessions. You will have access to the all of the University's support services including study support with academic writing and research skills, and opportunities for formative assessment and feedback to develop and continuously improve your performance while on the course. If you are a care leaver under the age of 24, you may be entitled to a £3000 bursary from the government. Further information will be supplied following application.
