For a very comprehensive explanation of what a degree apprenticeship is, Mr Martin Burchall, the author of 'The Sixth Formers Guide to Degree Apprenticeships' has made a short TV programme which you can access here: The Sixth Formers' Guide to Degree Apprenticeships 2024-2025 - I highly recommend this!
