Summary

The BSc (Honours) Digital Degree Apprenticeship is a work-based higher education programme that integrates academic and work-based learning in a way that can be delivered flexibly around the demands of your workplace.

As technologies converge and the pace of digital change accelerates, this programme supports apprentices to develop the necessary core knowledge and skills to contribute to digital projects across your organisation, as well as the mindset to enable them to continuously upskill as technologies advance.

The core Digital Degree Apprenticeship provides the broad technical understanding to operate as part of a wider team working with specialists in the analysis, design, build, evaluation and security of software, data solutions, services and networks. This includes the ability to support business strategy and management, work with end-users, and build solutions.

In addition to the core programme, The Open University (OU) offers three specialisms where apprentices will develop higher level applied practical skills, knowledge and competence in:

• Cyber Security Management
• Data Science
• Software Engineering

Qualifications achieved at the end of the programme:

• BSc (Hons) Digital Degree Apprenticeship, by the Open University.

* You don’t need formal qualifications to start this programme, but apprentices must be employed with an organisation willing to support them through the apprenticeship.
