STEM apprenticeships let you earn a salary while training for a career in science, technology, engineering or maths. UK employers including Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and GCHQ advertise programmes from Level 3 (advanced) through to Level 6 (degree) apprenticeships. Vacancies and pay change, so use this directory to identify employers and check each employer's current listing before applying.

Why STEM Apprenticeships Matter

A 2018 EngineeringUK estimate identified an annual need for 173,000 workers in engineering roles. That figure is historical rather than a current vacancy count, but it helps explain the long-running focus on technical skills. Apprenticeships combine practical workplace experience with academic qualifications.

For young people considering their options after GCSEs or A-levels, an apprenticeship can combine paid employment with structured training. The role, qualification, duration, pay, costs and progression vary by vacancy, so compare the current terms with other education and employment routes.

Benefits

Why Consider a STEM Apprenticeship?

Earn While You Learn

An apprentice is employed and paid. Pay, hours, eligibility and the qualification vary by vacancy, so check the current listing before applying.

Gain Real Skills

Apprenticeships combine work with off-the-job training. The duties, projects, training provider and assessment arrangements are specific to each programme.

Training Costs

Apprentices do not normally pay the apprenticeship training costs, but the qualification, expenses and other financial terms vary. Verify them in the current vacancy.

Career Progression

Many programmes offer structured progression, but prospects and retention vary by employer. Check the current programme details before applying.

Application Tips & Guidance

Common Questions

STEM Apprenticeship FAQs

What is a STEM apprenticeship?

A STEM apprenticeship is a structured training programme where you earn a salary while gaining practical skills and qualifications in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. Apprenticeships combine on-the-job learning with academic study, and are offered at levels from Level 2 (equivalent to GCSEs) up to Level 7 (equivalent to a master's degree).

What age do you need to be to start an apprenticeship?

Age and eligibility rules depend on the UK nation, apprenticeship type and vacancy. Check the relevant official apprenticeship service and the employer’s current listing before applying.

What qualifications do you need for a STEM apprenticeship?

Entry requirements vary by programme, level and employer. Check the live vacancy for the required subjects, grades, equivalent qualifications, residency or security conditions and any other eligibility rules.

How much do STEM apprentices get paid?

Pay depends on age, apprenticeship year, employer, level and location. The applicable statutory minimum is a floor, and some employers pay more. Check the current vacancy and the latest GOV.UK minimum-wage guidance before applying.

Can you do a degree apprenticeship instead of going to university?

Yes. A Level 6 degree apprenticeship can combine paid work with study towards a bachelor's degree. Apprentices do not pay the programme's training costs, but eligibility, the qualification awarded and the education provider vary by vacancy, so check the current listing.

How do I find STEM apprenticeships near me?

Use this directory to identify organisations, then check their careers sites and the official apprenticeship service for your UK nation. Verify that a vacancy is live and confirm its work location, attendance requirements and closing date before applying.

What is the difference between an apprenticeship and university?

A full-time university student usually pays tuition fees, while an apprentice is employed, earns a salary and does not pay the apprenticeship training costs. For 2026/27, the maximum standard full-time undergraduate fee in England is £9,790; arrangements differ elsewhere in the UK. A degree apprenticeship combines work with higher-education study, but the qualification and terms vary by vacancy.

Are STEM apprenticeships available in all UK regions?

Availability changes by employer, programme and recruitment round. A directory region shows where an organisation has published relevant information, not that a live vacancy exists there. Check the employer’s current vacancy for the work location and any travel or relocation requirements.

Use the directory to research organisations, verify live vacancies and terms on employer sites, or read our practical application guide.
