Want to help transform lives?
Start now with an apprenticeship in life sciences
Whether you’re at the start of your career or building on your skillset, undertaking an apprenticeship means you can combine work with study by mixing on-the-job training with formal learning. On completion of your apprenticeship, not only will you obtain an accredited qualification, but you will also have gained new transferable skills which will help propel you into the professional workplace. An ATAC apprenticeship is the perfect route into a career in the life sciences where you’ll be making a real difference to the quality of people’s lives. Life sciences are defined as the study of living organisms. Many medicines are made from these living cells including antibodies and other therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and advanced therapies. Advanced therapies are a ground-breaking new class of medicines that use gene therapy, cell therapy or tissue engineering to treat diseases such as cancer.

Testimonials
...Potentially finding a cure, is incredible.
...Best of both worlds between getting a job and university.
...Allowed me to jump straight in...
I decided to do a degree apprenticeship because I wanted to gain practical experience within the scientific research sector. At the same time, I wanted to progress with my studies without having to worry about being in debt. The best thing about this programme is that it seamlessly moulds the academic aspect of my degree with my time at the Catapult, thus allowing me to cover course content and continue with the responsibilities my role requires. The work environment at the Catapult is also very friendly and full of energy!
