Heriot-Watt Graduate Apprenticeship opportunities
Heriot-Watt were one of the pioneers of Graduate Apprenticeships when they were launched in 2017. It built on the University’s proud history of being at the forefront of work-based learning in Scotland.
A Graduate Apprenticeship is a unique combination of 80% work-based learning and 20% university learning. Work-based learning includes tasks and projects carried out in the workplace. And because the work-based and academic learning is combined, the degree can be completed in the same timescale as a traditional undergraduate degree.
There is limited availability on the following programmes:
- BEng (Hons) Engineering Design & Manufacture (Electronic or Mechanical)
- BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering
- BSc (Hons) Data Science
- MA (Hons) Business Management
