Structure, certificates and assessment - Nuclear Scientist and Nuclear Engineer Degree Apprenticeship

You will be studying for this qualification part time over 4 years, 3 semesters per year in years 1 to 3 and 2 semesters in year 4.

Your degree apprenticeship is a work based learning qualification comprised off-the-job and on the job learning. These elements are integrated so that you can relate and apply your learning into practice in the workplace and acquire the relevant knowledge, skills and behaviours you need to pass your End Point Assessment (EPA). This is an integrated EPA and you will take it as part of your final year of study.
