The Faculty of Science and Engineering is sector-leading in the development and provision of Degree Apprenticeships. Based in Chelmsford or Cambridge, the Faculty delivers Degree Apprenticeships in various subjects, such as Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Town Planning, Data Science, Laboratory Science and Hearing Aid Audiology. Administrative support for academic and professional services staff is crucial to ensuring the delivery or our Degree Apprenticeships is of a high standard and leads to apprentices meeting key objectives and progressing towards End Point Assessments to complete their programmes.
