Earn while you train to become a software engineer, and graduate with both a BSc and four years of work experience.
Software engineers design, build and test high-quality software solutions, whilst always ensuring security is robust. They typically work as part of a collaborative team.
This degree apprenticeship will provide you with the skills and experience you need to work as a software engineer. You’ll study part-time on campus at Queen Mary, learning alongside students on our standard BSc programmes.
On the other days of the week, you’ll learn on the job, with one of our partner employers.
You apply for this degree apprenticeship through the National Apprenticeship Service, or via the employer’s own website, rather than through UCAS.

The Goldman Sachs Degree Apprenticeship is a fantastic programme and I could not recommend it enough! It is perfect for students who are looking to get a head-start on building a career in technology at a top-tier firm and making a direct impact from day one. My advice to future apprentices would be to bring your personality to work and be authentic to what makes you unique!
Whilst the weekly delivery takes place at the LCIOT, your sprint teaching will take place at Mile End.
You will attend lectures, seminars, labs and tutorials during your on campus days. Your on campus requirement will be one day per week plus one week sprint teaching each semester and you will be in teaching during Semester A, B and C.
Your on campus time will be a minimum of 20% of your total weekly working hours and averages about 5-10 hours contact time.
Apprentices start one week before standard students.
Assessment typically includes a combination of exams and coursework. There are practical assignments for laboratory-based modules, and exercise sheets or written assignments for more theoretical modules.
The End Point Assessment
The End Point Assessment (EPA) is a module where students will reflect on the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSB’s) that should be displayed during their apprenticeship. This will train them to sit their End Point Assessment, taken at the final stage of their apprenticeship.
The EPA contains three requirements, the synoptic project, the project presentation and the professional discussion.
You will be taught at the new London City Institute of Technology, a partnership between Queen Mary and Newham College, based near Canning Town station.
