East Midlands Degree Apprenticeships Fair

The East Midlands Degree Apprenticeships Fair is designed to give students a unique insight into the exciting opportunities available through degree apprenticeships, and to help them make informed decisions about their future. It is ideal for Year 11–13 students, particularly those considering university, apprenticeships, or careers in STEM, healthcare, business, or education.

Last year's event welcomed over 25 employers and 750 students from across the region who enjoyed exploring career pathways, gathering information, advice and guidance from our experts and exploring our student spaces and facilities.
