Hi RoannaKaren,It may be possible for you to apply, however, due to degree apprenticeships being government-funded, there are certain guidelines companies need to adhere to, so they may not be able to accept applicants who have already completed an undergraduate degree. I would recommend applying to specific graduate schemes, as these are usually much shorter, you will start on a higher salary, and graduates usually get the opportunity to rotate around the bank. Whereas my degree apprenticeship is 4 years long and I will stay in my assigned role throughout (This is because I need to record a journal as evidence of completing my role, so it wouldn't be practical to constantly rotate). I wouldn’t be worried about your degrees relevancy to Finance, as I know graduates who haven't studied STEM Subjects at university. If you are interested in studying more about Finance, many companies will pay for additional qualifications such as a Masters, MBA or other relevant Financial qualifications!
