Degree apprenticeships: Devolved administrations – Northern Ireland

Degree Apprenticeships Toolkit

In Northern Ireland, the term “Higher level apprenticeships (HLAS)” covers what are known in England as Degree Apprenticeships and offer on-the-job training and off-the-job learning at higher levels, including Foundation Degrees (level 5), Honours Degrees (Level 6), and post-graduate awards (Level 7-8).  NB they include Level 8 (PhD) which they explicitly do not in England.

Pilot activity is currently underway with 50 employers in the following priority sectors:

  • Life Sciences
  • Insurance
  • International Tourism and Hospitality Management
  • Engineering
  • Building Gas Management
  • ICT
  • Business Technology
  • Sustainable Construction
  • Civil & Environmental Engineering
  • Food Manufacturing
  • Automotive Engineering
  • Animation, Film and Video
  • Social media and Digital Marketing
  • Professional Services
