Apprenticeships

Interested in an apprenticeship? Check out some of the great resources, useful hints and tips, and vacancies UCAS has to offer.

Choosing the right UK course for you

There are hundreds of universities and colleges in the UK with different subject specialisms. Rather than choosing a famous university, see which one offers the best course for you.

eduroam

eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, international wireless service that is available to all employees at UCAS. We offer the home and visited service.

Exhibiting as a university or college

We run the go-to events for young people researching their post-school/college options. This is your chance to showcase your university or college and everything it offers to the audience you need to reach.

Extra choices

If you've used all five choices on your application, and you're not holding any offers, you could still find a place using Extra – it's free!

How to get into work

How to manage a successful apprenticeships programme

We invited organisations who could offer guidance on the day-to-day running of apprenticeships programmes, as well as how to support apprentices through to completion. We had speakers from the Association of Apprentices, Workplus, and Lloyd’s Banking Group – if you missed it, here’s what happened.
