Study an apprenticeship at the University of York

Our approach

An apprenticeship is a skills development programme where you can earn whilst you learn. Practise in a real working environment and gain valuable experience. Undertake classroom-based learning, increasing your knowledge of your chosen field.

We currently offer apprenticeships in the area of Health Sciences. You can find our apprenticeship courses below.

You'll be taught by our friendly academics who are experts in these fields, splitting your time between theory and practice. You'll also enhance your ability to analyse complex problems and make sound decisions.
