Degree Apprenticeships

As a Degree Apprentice at WSP you will be a full-time, permanent employee, getting paid while working on exciting, real-world projects from day one. With support from your experienced team and dedicated buddy, you’ll gain hands-on experience in an inspiring environment.

“I joined WSP as a Degree Apprentice following my A-level studies. Since starting I have had consistent support from my colleagues and have been made to feel like a valued member of the team. Due to this engagement, I have developed a broad understanding of engineering, despite having no engineering background, and I have been able to grow as an Early Career Professional, with challenging and stimulating work and opportunities.'

Undergraduates

Each year we offer paid placements at WSP for which Undergraduates can apply. There are two types of placements available:

Summer Placements - These run between June and August each year. Lasting at least eight weeks, these placements give insight into WSP’s world leading engineering professional services consultancy and great opportunities to work on WSP projects.

Year in Industry placements - These tend to run from (September to July) or (September to August) dependent on your university course requirements. A year in industry gives students further opportunities to develop the skills and knowledge being taught at university and set you up for future success.

“Taking a year out in industry with WSP has been one of the best decisions I have made throughout my education. I am working alongside world renowned experts who support my development, whilst ensuring my ideas are always taken into consideration. Working in such an environment has made me more confident in my capabilities and passionate to keep learning and improving”.
