Applications are open now for ̨ÍåÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Leicester (DMU)’s apprenticeship programmes – with new courses for 2025.

̨ÍåÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ are designed to empower employees, enhance their skills and help you to drive your business forward.

DMU apprenticeships blend practical, on the job experience with rigorous academic theory so people learn not just the ‘how’ but the ‘why’ behind tasks and operations. Our apprenticeships have been rated Good by Ofsted, with praise for the support available to learners.

With 80 per cent of training conducted in the workplace and 20 per cent through structured learning, your team members can continue contributing to your business while advancing their education.

New for 2025 are:

•  A postgraduate course in Artificial Intelligence, a 30-month programme that will enable learners to devise and develop data-driven AI solutions to automate and optimise business processes
  
  
• A Level 4 (equivalent to a first-year undergraduate course) Business Analyst Apprenticeship, professionally recognised by the British Computer Society (BCS) and the Chartered Institute for IT for Register of IT Technicians (RITTech)
  
  
• Teacher Degree Apprenticeship in Primary Education, delivered in partnership with the Mead Academy Trust
  
  
• A Digital User Experience (UX) Professional Apprenticeship, spanning creative coding, user experience design and virtual environment production

Whatever your sector, DMU’s apprenticeship programmes are closely aligned with current and future skills needs – helping you develop a smarter, more resilient workforce.

Many of these programmes are eligible for levy funding or other financial support, making them a cost-effective way to invest in people development. DMU is also offering East Midlands businesses access to its own levy funds to support their ambitions 

Apprenticeships are not only a route into work for young people, they’re a tool for transformation. Staff already within your organisation can enrol to gain qualifications and grow into new roles, helping you retain talent and fill skills gaps from within.

With new intakes launching in autumn, you can secure places for your team and plan development pathways that align with your business goals. The application process is straightforward, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.

* DMU’s apprenticeships are employer-led so potential learners must have a job in a relevant field and an employer willing to support the application.
