East Midlands Degree Apprenticeships Fair

Wednesday 11 February 2026

Kedleston Road Derby Campus, Kedleston Road, Derby, DE22 1GB

The East Midlands Degree Apprenticeships Fair is designed to give students a unique insight into the exciting opportunities available through degree apprenticeships, and to help them make informed decisions about their future. It is ideal for Year 11–13 students, particularly those considering university, apprenticeships, or careers in STEM, healthcare, business, or education.

Last year's event welcomed over 25 employers and 600 students from across the region who enjoyed exploring career pathways, gathering information, advice and guidance from our experts and exploring our student spaces and facilities.

The event was excellent. Everyone was so kind, approachable and helpful. The university is beautiful and welcoming, and the fair was well organised and spacious. I spoke to everyone I wanted to — they were all lovely, shared lots of information about apprenticeships and answered my questions clearly. I walked away with so many more options – thank you!
