What's a sponsored degree?
Employers have various titles for sponsored degree schemes, including school leaver programmes, sponsored degrees, and scholarship schemes.
Sponsored degrees combine full-time study, paid work experience and reduced tuition fees for students.
They can be a great option for those who want to balance full-time study (covered by an employer) with real-world work experience plus a salary.
