Are degree apprenticeships seen as lesser qualifications down the line?

No definitely not! You get the same degree qualification as those who go to uni. My degree is a BSc and it is the same as anyone who went to university to study that type of degree. You also have (about) 4 years of work experience behind you as well with a Degree Apprenticeship within your relevant area. They definitely are not looked down on when you come to apply to jobs post uni :)

Hi, thank you for your [link removed] bachelor's degrees are level 6, and Masters degrees are level 7. How you obtain the degree doesn't change the level! To put this into perspective, your A-levels are level [link removed] qualifications are viewed as the same level, quite simply, because they are! When you do a degree apprenticeship, you are enrolled onto a university (usually stated in the job description) which means you are obtaining the same degree as a student who does that same course through the traditional [link removed] degree apprenticeships are valued more: Alongside doing that degree, you get relevant and practical work experience. Not only do you obtain a degree (which is valued the same), but you have at least 3 years of time in the work place to support you - and put on your CV. Employers are looking for that experience!
