Sponsored Degrees in the UK

Sponsored Degrees in the UK

If you are concerned about going to university and taking on a huge debt, have you thought about a sponsored degree programme?
A sponsored degree programme is a way of getting a degree and being paid while you study, as well as gaining valuable work experience with a reputable company. It means you study and work alongside each other and graduate without a student loan to pay off. Details of the schemes vary, but typically you might find yourself working four days a week and studying one day a week on campus at the associated University. You will also receive a range of benefits and support as well as a job when you graduate.
Here are some companies that currently offer sponsored degree programmes in the UK
