With a blend of hands‑on experience and qualifications you will work on projects that are fundamental to our global success, providing the opportunity to influence the future of manufacturing.

During your apprenticeship, you'll gain valuable hands‑on experience and career‑building skills while working at the forefront of the automotive industry. This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your foundational knowledge, and develop essential business behaviours such as teamwork and problem‑solving.

This programme is delivered through a combination of online study, face‑to‑face lectures, independent learning each week. This gives you the chance to apply your learning from University of Warwick to projects in a real‑world environment. You'll study a range of modules designed to build your essential knowledge, skills and behaviours, with regular process reviews along to way to ensure you're getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.

In years 3 and 4 you will complete modules related to your chosen specialism – Product Design and Development. In your final year, you’ll complete a work‑based project as part of your End Point Assessment (EPA).
