What our apprentices say
My experience as an apprentice at the University has been exciting, rewarding and memorable. I’m gaining strong theoretical knowledge that I can apply directly to real-life situations in the workplace.
The support from my employer and the University helped me succeed. Choosing an apprenticeship changed my life, and I wouldn’t be where I am today had I followed a traditional degree path.

Policies and safeguarding
As an apprentice at the University of Westminster, you are subject to our policies and procedures in the same way as other students.
To view policies, procedures and guidance specific to apprenticeships, visit our Policies and documents A-Z page.
Policies of particular relevance to apprentices include:
- Apprenticeships change of circumstance policy
- Apprentice and employer complaints guidance and process
- Initial assessment and recognition of prior learning process (apprenticeships)

Safeguarding is an overarching term used to describe the protection of the health, wellbeing, and human rights of individuals. In the context of our apprenticeship provision, safeguarding means protecting children and adults at risk from abuse and neglect, making sure that they are safe and that their health and development are not impaired.
We follow statutory guidance and relevant legislation. Under legislation, all parties involved in an apprenticeship must take reasonable action to minimise risks to apprentices, placing safeguarding concerns at the heart of their training provision. This includes aspects of the apprentices’ experience, both in and outside of the workplace, as well as during any attendance at university.
