If you’re a school leaver (or soon to be) and you have a strong interest in
technology then the BBC’s ground-breaking Broadcast Engineering
Apprenticeship is for you.

As part of the three year programme you’ll complete high quality work
placements with the BBC and with other media companies, at the same time as
studying towards an honours bachelor’s degree. You’ll also build up an
excellent CV which will put you in a great position to compete for jobs in
the media industry once you graduate.

And the brilliant news is, as well as building up great work experience,
you don’t run up any debt getting your degree! The BBC pays you an
Apprentice salary of £11.5k and you don’t have to pay university tuition
fees - it’s all part of the Apprenticeship****

‘As well as being passionate about how things work and solving problems, we
want to hear from you if you’re an energetic team player and good with
people. You don’t need to have any work experience but we will be looking
for good A levels, ideally with Maths and a Science subject. And you’ll
need to have done something that demonstrates your interest in technology.’*
