Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering
In partnership with CITB, the university was the first in Scotland to develop and pilot a GA in Civil Engineering and UHI Inverness is now working with its third cohort of GA civil engineering apprentices (Level 8).
UHI Inverness offers a Graduate Apprenticeship in Civil Engineering, complementing the Modern Apprenticeship (up to SCQF level 8) and Foundation Apprenticeship (SCQF Level 6), providings a seamless work-based learning pathway in Civil Engineering right through from the senior phase of school to honours degree level.
"We have built up a very strong relationship with industry and work closely with employers so we know demand is there for this type and level of learning. It’s not only attractive to employers because it means they can provide training to an employee from the very start of their degree, it also means students can earn, learn on the job and study at the same time. It really is a win, win."
