You’ll gain a degree, and hopefully impress us enough to secure a job with us after you graduate.

Technology

Our innovative Technology Degree Apprenticeships and Data Science Graduate Apprenticeships have been specially designed in partnership with each university: Queen’s University Belfast, the University of Birmingham, the University of Leeds, and the University of Edinburgh.

On these fully funded degree apprenticeship programmes, you’ll gain a blend of work experience with our Tech teams, working on cutting-edge digital and technology client projects, whilst studying towards a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or Data Science, depending on which university you choose.
