Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)
The latest figures for the 2023/24 academic year show there have been 44,060 apprenticeship starts at degree level, including 3,540 in the East Midlands.
Degree apprenticeships can provide school leavers and older learners alternative routes into degree level professions, which supports diversity and inclusion.
