Find an apprenticeship vacancy
To be offered a place on one of our degree apprenticeship programmes, you need to be employed and have your employer's approval. If you aren't currently working, the best way to join us is by searching for suitable apprenticeship opportunities. Here are two great places to start:
Apply for a role
When you find a vacancy that appeals to you, you'll need to make an application to the employer and not through UCAS or Aston University.
Each employer has a different application process, so it is best to take a look through their recruitment information online to see what is expected of you.
Meet the employer's requirements
The application process often consists of multiple stages that you will need to pass before a company will offer you a position. This can include, an online application, a telephone interview, aptitude testing, a Skype or face to face interview and an assessment centre.
The employer may also have their own entry requirements in terms of qualifications, so if you haven't already taken your exams, you will need to make sure you achieve the necessary grades.
What next?

We'll then invite you to complete our application form so we can begin the enrolment process.If you meet all the necessary requirements you will be then be offered a degree apprenticeship place.
