This Higher Education Certificate in Policy Studies apprenticeship (Level 4) is an 18 month programme (including end point assessment).

The HE Certificate in Policy Studies aims to produce policy officers equipped with the skills to play an enhanced role within central and local government or within private and third sector organisations that interact and strive to influence government policy.

It has been developed with, and for employers and is delivered as a blended course. Most material is in the form of directed self-learning via the universitys e-learning platform, Moodle, on- and off-site academic support, and face to face block teaching throughout the length of apprenticeship.

The University of Kent is at the forefront of providing higher and degree apprenticeships. Our expertise in e-learning delivery, together with flexible entry points, means that the programme can be delivered with the least disruption to the business.

The University of Kent has delivered higher apprenticeships since 2011, working with industry-leading employers including GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novartis and Unilever to name a few.

Kent launched the Centre for Higher and Degree Apprenticeships in 2016 to build on this experience. The Centre works in partnership with regional and national employers to develop apprenticeships tailored to their needs. The Centre also has an important role to play within the University, supporting academic schools on all aspects of delivering apprenticeship training.

We help to devise a tailored programme of study that complements activity in your workplace, underpinned by our leading academic programmes.
