Data Analytics Apprentice

Innovation starts life in numbers. Data dictates where we go next. You'll tell us what it's saying. But first, we need to make you fluent in this unique language. By the end of the programme, you'll understand data structures, software development procedures and analytical tools we use.

This pathway will expose you to key areas including Data Science & Machine Learning and Business Analytics & Visualisation, and you could find yourself working within Data & Artificial Intelligence (DAIO), Engineering Operations (EO) or Vehicle Platform. You will be asked to indicate your preference during the application process.

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. And you'll be supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, the university team, and your line manager every step of the way.

You'll achieve a BSc (Hons) degree in Digital and Technology Solutions developed in conjunction with the University of Warwick. For more details on the degree course, please visit:

This programme is delivered through a combination of online study, face‑to‑face lectures, and 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 the 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 – Data Analytics. In your final year, you'll complete a work‑based project as part of your End Point Assessment (EPA).
