The Office for Students (OfS) has today confirmed a second wave of investment of £14 million to increase the number of Level 6 degree apprenticeships in England.
This is the result of the second round of a competitive bidding process as part of the OfS’s £40 million degree apprenticeships fund, following the first wave announced in January 2024. It will provide support for 151 Level 6 degree apprenticeship programmes at 32 universities and colleges.
The funding will be used to:
- expand provision at those providers already offering Level 6 degree apprenticeships
- enable some providers to offer Level 6 degree apprenticeships for the first time
- increase the number of students on Level 6 degree apprenticeships
- increase equality of opportunity for students into and during Level 6 degree apprenticeships.
