BA (Honours) Professional Practice in Management (Facilities Management)
Degree apprenticeship
Become accredited as a professional facilities manager by combining this innovative degree programme with an aspiring or established management job role.
How does the degree apprenticeship work?
You study a university course alongside 30+ hours of employment a week – so you'll need a relevant job role before you apply. The combination of the course and the job has to meet a national ‘apprenticeship standard’ – in this case the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship standard. So you get to study for a recognised qualification, while earning a salary and having no student fees to pay.
Our next start date for this course is October 2021
The course normally takes 3 years part-time, followed by an endpoint assessment which you'll complete within 6 months.
