New course on offer to assist Sunderland students
The university is one of a select group of UK higher-level teaching institutions working on the new Higher Degree Apprenticeship programme, which is endorsed by the Tech Partnership, and allows students to attend university while also being employed full-time.
Professor Alastair Irons, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Sunderland, said: “Our first Degree Apprenticeship is now up and running with Accenture and builds on our long-term relationship with the team there.
“We developed this new opportunity as a result of our work with businesses, to support skills growth – we continually align our courses to the current and future needs of employers.”
