Overview
Earn while you train to become a data analyst, and graduate with both a BSc and four years of work experience.
Data analysts collect, organise and study data. They report their findings and make recommendations that are key to improving business performance.
This innovative degree apprenticeship has been developed in partnership with PwC, to help you fast-track your career in technology and business.
You will study the first term of each year on campus at Queen Mary, learning at London City Institute of Technology and Mile End on your bespoke degree.
From the second semester of each year, you will work closely with technology experts at one of PwC's London offices, whilst undertaking a work context module.
For the third semester of the year, you will have a combination of work, remote and in person study, that will help you develop your knowledge, skills and behaviours that underpin your apprenticeship.
Please note that this course will commence on 8th September, earlier than other Queen Mary courses.
*The information on this course page is correct at the time of writing. We are continually exploring ways to improve our educational offering and keep programmes reflective of industry. As such, modules and course structure for September 2025 entry may change. You will be informed of any significant changes.
How to apply
The process to apply for a degree apprenticeship varies slightly depending on whether you are currently employed or an aspiring employee. Details of the process for both are outlined below:
At present, PwC is our sole employer partner for this programme. All applications should be made through UCAS (look out for the relevant UCAS deadlines).
Hear from some of PwC's current apprentices.
After you apply
Your UCAS form will be reviewed by a member of admissions staff. Following this review, we may also invite you to complete some online assessments, including an online interview and assessment centre.
Online interview
The online interview is run by PwC and can be taken at a time and place to suit you, as long as this is in sufficient time before the assessment centre (we’ll advise you of the deadlines). You will have the opportunity to practice questions and find out more about PwC through completing this exercise.
Assessment centre
The assessment centres are held online in March, and involve an assessed group exercise conducted by PwC. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and find out more about the programme.

"No two degree apprentices have the same experiences within PwC, there are endless opportunities to develop yourself in whatever way you see fit. The curriculum I study is also very interesting and vast, it varies from aspects such as programming and computing theory, to a more business-focused approach, which means no two days are ever the same. I truly feel blessed to be a part of PwC."
Teaching
Teaching and learning
This programme combines academic study and work experience at PwC, in a block-release delivery model.
In Semester A, you will attend workshops, labs, and big classroom teaching sessions at the LCIOT campus. Further, you will have one week of sprint teaching each semester at Mile End campus. During this period, you'll receive approximately three to four days of weekly contact time made up of workshops, lab sessions and big classroom teaching.
In Semester B, you will commence work full-time across various data teams at one of the local PwC offices for five months of each academic year. During this time, you will have a work context academic module to complete.
Your semester C will contain both employment and remote / on campus learning before you go on summer break.
Throughout your journey, you’ll be supported by a team of dedicated staff from both the University and PwC, who will coach you to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to succeed in your apprenticeship.
Assessment
Assessment typically includes a combination of exams and coursework. There are practical assignments for laboratory-based modules, and exercise sheets or written assignments for more theoretical modules.
The End Point Assessment
The End Point Assessment (EPA) module is a 12-hour per semester module where students will reflect on the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSB’s) that should be displayed during their apprenticeship. This will train them to sit their End Point Assessment, taken at the final stage of their apprenticeship.
The EPA contains three requirements, the synoptic project, the project presentation and the professional discussion.
Resources and facilities
You will be taught at the London City Institute of Technology, a partnership between Queen Mary and Newham College, based near Canning Town station.
You'll have access to well-designed resources for self-directed study, and we will pair you with a specialist advisor to support your progress throughout your apprenticeship. You will attend a variety of workshops and contact sessions to keep you in touch with Queen Mary and PwC. These are designed to help you progress both professionally and academically.
