 Flying Start Degree Partnership ProgrammesWeighing up post A-level options can be a confusing time for your students, with so many choices to make and factors to consider. Much is made of the debate as to whether to start work straight away or go to Uni, but what if they could do both at the same time? Here’s some facts you might not know about employer partnership degrees…
- They can still choose their Uni – our Flying Start Degree programmes are available at Newcastle, Nottingham, Reading, Leeds, Birmingham, Edinburgh, St Andrews and Queen’s University Belfast so they can choose the Uni and geographical area that suits them best.
- Two for the price of one – many partnership degrees offer a professional qualification, alongside their academic degree qualification. That means they start work ahead of other graduates with an industry qualification under their belt alongside a degree.
- Student discount – most employer degrees offer financial incentives, making the burden of going to Uni that little bit lighter. Whether it’s discounted fees and paid placements, like our Accountancy Flying Start programmes*, or a fully funded programme where they’re paid a monthly salary from day one for the duration of the programme, as well as 25 days holiday, life insurance and other core benefits, and pay no tuition fees, like our Flying Start Technology Degree Apprenticeship, they’re worth looking into.
*Discounted fees not applicable at Reading.
We offer Flying Start Degree Programmes in Accounting, Business and Technology. To find out more about our programmes, simply visit our website and/or apply through UCAS.
