The University of Aberdeen is offering 15 Graduate Apprenticeship places on the BEng Civil Engineering degree
programme (SCQF Level 10) commencing in September 2020.
Graduate Apprenticeships are designed to allow you to study for your honours degree while you continue working.
As a Graduate Apprentice, you will undertake about 80% of your learning at work and 20% at university.
• Earn an accredited honours degree in 4 years while working, the same time as it takes a traditional fulltime student.
• Tuition fees are covered by Skills Development Scotland, so there is no tuition fee cost to you or
your employer.
• Get paid while you earn your degree. As a Graduate Apprentice, you will continue working in paid
employment while earning your degree.
• Put your learning into practice from the beginning of your degree, to solve real work-based problems and
gain valuable work experience.

S6 pupils:
Assurance Apprenticeship
Assurance is reassurance that a business is protected from risks that can affect its reputation or performance. As external auditors we help companies and governments publish accurate financial accounts others can rely on – so we can build a better working world.

Transactions Apprenticeship:
Economies are fuelled by competitive organisations who buy, sell, merge or restructure parts of their business with others. Transactions help organisations do all that while making more informed decisions and building better strategies.
In Restructuring, we advise organisations – and other affected parties – when they are underperforming or in distress, on the best course of action. Through independent analysis, we help them either get back on track or go through insolvency procedures like administration or receivership.

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve launched a portal of virtual work experience for secondary pupils who are missing out on work experience with us this term due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
When it became clear that we would be unable to host our usual annual intake of young adults for work experience in our Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow offices with a bespoke in-house, one-week programme, we designed this platform to replace it.
The website content, which is freely available [workexperience.hfm.co.uk], aims to continue to motivate and encourage young people to consider a career in architecture and the construction industry during lockdown. The programme mirrors our office-based experience and can be completed at home with no time restrictions.
