The degree apprentices will join a large team within the College and work 4 days per week within the External Relations Team, and study 1 day per week at Pearson College London towards a Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship.
There are already 8 degree apprentices working within the team and the new apprentices will become part of this high performing group of employees. Working alongside colleagues at all levels to help build and promote the brands: Pearson College London, Pearson Business School and Escape Studios.
Applicants should be keen to build a career in marketing and be able to come up with imaginative, innovative ideas. This two-year Degree Apprenticeship programme is designed to give student-apprentices the experience of working for a growing company, whilst studying for an Honours Degree at the same time.
Two bright and ambitious students will be chosen to complete this exciting Degree Apprenticeship and also help contribute to the success of Pearson College London.

About Pearson Business School
Education powered by industry experience.We're transforming higher education.
As a FTSE 100 company, immersed in industry, we do things differently. Industry engagement is at the core of everything that we do, and it’s what sets us apart.
We offer all full-time degree students guaranteed internships*, so they gain experience during their studies. Our degree apprentices also get to work within a company throughout their studies, so they gain valuable experience, learning on the job. We help our students to build their own professional networks; they’re taught by well-connected industry experts, and they get to make contacts at industry workshops led by some of the world’s most reputable organisations. We work with industry giants from Unilever, L’Oréal, and Sony Pictures, to WPP, Lloyds of London and IBM. Alongside their academic studies, it’s the experiences like these that help our students to develop the knowledge and skills they’ll need to succeed, as well as inspire them, so they have the drive and ambition to get ahead.
Our students are enterprising and entrepreneurial. They get to work with our in-house business incubator The Access Platform, and many have set up their own companies too, like Kickpush and Yaantu and even social enterprises like Once Upon a Doug.
Our alumni have gone on to work for brands such as Nestlé, Sainsbury’s, Microsoft, Dyson, Not on the High Street, the BBC, Snapchat, Wincanton and General Mills.
Industry engagement drives us; it’s not just what we do, it’s who we are. And it is what will take us, and our students, into the future.
