Provider overview

The University of Northampton apprenticeships embrace the growing development for vocational higher education in England by offering higher and degree apprenticeships specifically designed by industry to respond to high level skills gaps. They bring together the very best in higher and vocational education. We may be one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call 'social impact'. Social Impact is embedded in our institution-wide strategy.These approaches align perfectly with apprenticeship methodology, enabling teaching through student-centred activities that support the development of subject knowledge and understanding, independent learning, and digital fluency.
