Advance your career while you work: Business Analyst Degree Apprenticeship now open to staff
Posted on behalf of: University of Sussex
Last updated: Monday, 20 October 2025

Gain a Sussex degree while continuing to work for us – you will develop the in-demand capabilities of today’s business analysts — including quantitative analysis, coding, and programming skills.
A degree apprenticeship is a powerful opportunity for both employers and learners. It combines real-world work experience in your job four days a week with usually one day a week of university study offering individuals a debt-free route to a degree.
The course teaches transferable workplace skills and builds the industry standard knowledge with a focus on practical problem-solving and real-life applications.
Apprentices will:
- understand the complexity of information systems, systems development, data, cyber security, business organisation, IT project management and computer and network infrastructure
- use data to evaluate commercial and security risks and benefits
- have clear focus on delivering business improvements to budget
- gain the most up to date knowledge from this new course
We have five members of staff just started on Sussex’s own Degree Apprenticeship in Data & AI so why not join them on an apprenticeship and grow your skills.
This apprenticeship follows the Business Analyst specialism of this Digital and Technology Solutions Professional apprenticeship.
The course starts in January but you need to sign up early so discuss with your manager, and find out how to sign up for our staff information event at: apprenticeships@sussex.ac.uk.
