Business School – Degree Apprenticeships

The University of Exeter Business School (UEBS) have developed a suite of Degree Apprenticeship programmes designed in collaboration with employers to meet all aspects of the apprenticeship standards. UEBS aims to fulfil employer expectations and includes employer involvement right from the start of the degree. This is achieved via a range of delivery models including day release, distance learning, online learning and integrated assessment in partnership with the apprentice's employer.

In line with the ethos of the degree apprenticeship, we intend to increase access and widening participation into higher education through a programme which uses blended learning and blended assessment. We acknowledge that participants are employed and have consciously chosen to ‘earn whilst they learn' (QAA, 2004) and as such this programme has been designed to recognise the knowledge, skills and understanding that an applicant has already developed in their current job role.

Our design is premised on the assumption that the most authentic and powerful pedagogy is one that focuses on the identification, analysis and resolution of immediate problems in the apprentices' world, therefore these programme link learning directly to the working manager. We believe that this philosophy directly fits with the requirements laid down by Apprenticeship standards, serving both apprentice and employer.

What we can offer you:

Freedom (and the support) to pursue your intellectual interests and to work creatively across disciplines;

Support teams that understand the University wide teaching goals and partner with our academics accordingly;

An Innovation, Impact and Business directorate that works closely with our academics providing specialist support for external engagement and development;

Our Exeter Academic initiative supports high performing academics to achieve their potential and develop their career;

A multitude of staff benefits including sector leading benefits around maternity, adoption and shared parental leave (up to 26 weeks full pay), Paternity leave (up to 6 weeks full pay), and a new Fertility Treatment Policy;

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Commitment

Whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, we particularly welcome applications from groups currently underrepresented within our working community. Reasonable adjustments are available for interviews and workplaces.

With over 30,000 students and 7,000 staff from 150 different countries we offer a diverse and engaging environment where our diversity is celebrated and valued as a major strength. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where all members of our community are supported to thrive; where diverse voices are heard through our engagement with evidence-based charter frameworks for gender (Athena SWAN and Project Juno for Physics), race equality (Race Equality Charter Mark), LGBTQ+ inclusion (Stonewall Diversity Champion) and as a Disability Confident employer.
