Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship

Our Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship is aimed at those with a passion for learning and innovation.

We're reimagining the future of automotive, refining the quality of our combustion engines and expanding into electrification.

As an apprentice, you will develop the Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the apprenticeship standard. These will be assessed during your End Point Assessment (EPA), where you will demonstrate the competencies and skills you've gained throughout the programme.

Manufacturing pathway

Manufacturing is at the very heart of JLR, with thousands of vehicles being produced every day across our production facilities. With a blend of hands-on experience and qualifications you will work on projects that are fundamental to our global success, providing the opportunity to influence the future of manufacturing.

WHAT TO EXPECT

During your apprenticeship, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience and career-building skills while working at the forefront of the automotive industry.

This programme is delivered through a combination of online study, face-to-face lectures, and independent learning each week. This gives you the chance to apply your learning from the University of Warwick to projects in a real-world environment. You'll study a range of modules designed to build your essential knowledge, skills and behaviours, with regular process reviews along the way to ensure you're getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.
