Degree Apprenticeships at Manchester Metropolitan University

The Manchester Metropolitan University's Degree Apprenticeships team had an amazing Christmas Away Day this week.🎄🎉 We enjoyed festive team-building activities and reflected on the year’s successes and challenges. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the incredible work across all departments at the University that come together to provide an outstanding service to our apprentices and employer partners. 2025 will mark our 10-year anniversary of delivering degree apprenticeships and to honour this, we took a special look back to recognise the journey we’ve taken as a department. #McrMetProud
