Systems Engineering - Level 6 Higher Degree Apprenticeship

You will study towards a BSc (Hons) in Digital and Technology Solutions at University Centre Weston, which will be fully funded by MBDA over four years. You will attend university one day a week and when you are not at university, you’ll work within our business.

This four-year scheme will be spent supporting either the System Analysis or System Design Weapon Systems Function, each of which consists of multiple departments and areas of specialism.

You will be allocated a home department within one of these functions and each rotation within the function will last six months so you’ll get a great opportunity to truly understand how that team works. You will also have the opportunity to complete rotations outside of this function, in other areas of MBDA.

All teams work closely together across a variety of different areas and stages of the product lifecycle, meaning our apprentices get the opportunity to work in exciting and varied roles. Depending on projects we are working on and which phase of the product lifecycle, your placements could be in:

Weapon Systems

Algorithms & Performance

Network Communications

Command and Control

Software Engineering

Cyber

Trials

Weapon System Simulation & Experimentation

There will also be the opportunity to complete software related placements during your apprenticeship.

Due to the variety of work, and teams we work with, this role would suit anyone with a keen interest in Maths or Physics.
