Business Management Degree Apprentice

Earn while you learn with a fully funded degree, paid study time, practical management experience, and the opportunity to build a rewarding career in business management.

Looking to further your education while gaining valuable hands-on experience? Our structured Degree Apprenticeship combines practical hospitality experience with professional development, helping you build valuable skills while gaining real-world experience.

Based at Another Place, The Lake, you'll be part of a supportive team, develop your potential, and help create exceptional guest experiences in a spectacular lakeside setting.

We’re looking for a motivated and ambitious individual to enrol on our Degree Apprenticeship Programme.

You'll combine your role at the hotel with a dedicated, paid day of study at the Ambleside campus of the University of Cumbria. During university breaks, you'll also work full-time hours, gaining valuable experience across the hotel.

Our programme is a three-year commitment and offers a unique opportunity to gain a degree while building valuable industry experience.

As our final intake for the programme, this is a unique opportunity to earn while you learn and kick-start your career in business management. All tuition fees are covered by Another Place and government funding, providing an alternative path to university.

Requirements

  • Entry to our programme requires evidence of successful study at Level 3, A-Level, or equivalent.
  • English and Maths at Level 2 (GCSE grade 4/C or above) are also required.
  • You must have left full-time education before the start of the programme, be at least 18 years old, and meet the apprenticeship eligibility requirements, including:
    • The right to work in the UK
    • UK, EU or EEA residency for at least three years prior to the start of the course
    • Access to your own transport, due to our location
  • A positive team player who enjoys working collaboratively
  • Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to balance work responsibilities and academic study
  • Ability to remain calm and professional under pressure, adapting to changing priorities and business needs
  • Reliable, responsible, and committed to delivering high standards
  • Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills and a willingness to learn
  • Relevant industry experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to succeed on the programme

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
