Now students don’t have to choose between starting a career or continuing their studies. With a Degree Apprenticeship they can do both!   At Morrisons, we are giving hard-working school and college leavers the chance to have the best of both worlds.   While working with us and preparing for a brilliant career within our unique food retail business they’ll be studying towards a Bsc (Hons) Management and Business at the University of Bradford or a BA (Hons) Retail Leadership Integrated Degree at Sheffield Hallam University (depending on the Degree Apprenticeship).   Not only do we pay all course fees, but Degree Apprentices also get to work and earn a salary while studying – so money is never a concern.

 

 

Corporate Degree Apprenticeships Build up a good understanding of our business and industry by working on placements in areas such as trading, supply chain, HR, marketing, loss prevention and property.   Retail Degree Apprenticeships Learn about our store trading operations and systems to provide customers with a great shopping experience and to keep your store running smoothly.   Logistics Degree Apprenticeships Joining one of the best logistics team around, you’ll be going above and beyond to help ensure millions of products are always in the right place at the right time.   Manufacturing Degree Apprenticeships Help us to drive efficiencies and make millions of fresh food products whilst learning how to run production lines and lead production teams.
