BMW offers an enhanced level 6-degree apprenticeship in comparison to others in the industry. The four-year programme is designed to enable you to experience different aspects of engineering and production technology including robotics, controls systems, machining, fluid power, electronics, systems control and many more.

The first year of the program is purely in a learning environment where in addition to starting the academic requirements of your program, you will undertake a practical based engineering program which covers core engineering skills such as milling and turning, hand skills, electrical and electronic circuits and control and fluid power, PLC's etc.

Following this you will undertake competency-based training while working on site and start your degree program by starting the foundation degree and finishing with a BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering by the end of the apprenticeship, which is fully funded by the company.

The placements give you the chance to experience the business as a whole whilst carrying out business relevant projects alongside your study. You will have the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of working for a world-class global automotive manufacturer, networking with people of different nationalities and have the opportunity to put theory directly into practice.

Your career with BMW Group will be designed to meet individual aspirations and the business needs of an internationally recognised company.
