Study an apprenticeship at the University of York
Our approach
An apprenticeship is a skills development programme where you can earn whilst you learn. Practise in a real working environment and gain valuable experience. Undertake classroom-based learning, increasing your knowledge of your chosen field.
We currently offer apprenticeships in the area of Health Sciences.
You'll be taught by our friendly academics who are experts in these fields, splitting your time between theory and practice. You'll also enhance your ability to analyse complex problems and make sound decisions.

Nursing uses evidence-based practice to improve the quality of patient care. During this course, you'll learn how to assess safety and risk, promote health and wellbeing, and deliver high-quality care to various patients. This is a Level 5 apprenticeship equivalent to a foundation degree or a Higher National Diploma (HND). - MSc Advanced Clinical Practice apprenticeship
Advanced clinical practitioners work across multidisciplinary teams to manage care for patients. During this course, you'll learn how to safely assess, diagnose and treat patients with different health issues.
