(PLEASE NOTE, APPLICATIONS MADE ELSEWHERE MAY NOT BE PROCESSED)
During our four-year Degree Apprenticeship you'll learn from our industry leading experts and gain valuable experience, while studying for a Bachelors' Degree in Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or Control and Instrumentation. You'll get on-the-job training and the kind of practical experience you simply can't get on campus. On the programme you'll follow the Level 6 Nuclear Scientist Nuclear Engineer Apprentice Standard.
What you'll need to apply:
* A minimum of 102 UCAS points - ideally either three A Levels (at grade C or above including Maths and a science subject) or, a relevant Level qualification, such as a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma with a strong mathematical element
* A passion for engineering in the nuclear industry
* The ability to work independently and in teams, and can balance the responsibilities between study and work
* Willingness to relocate as required
Where you'll work:
* Your first year in full time study at the National College for Nuclear, training delivered by Bridgwater & Taunton College.
* Accommodation and meal costs will be covered in your first year if you do not live locally to Bridgwater
* During the apprenticeship you will be working within different teams at your EDF location
Training, development and support for you:
* First year - you'll be in full time residential (if not local to Bridgwater) study at the National College for Nuclear, completing a foundation year in engineering. This'll include both academic and hands-on learning, within a realistic training environment
* Years two and three - your time will be split between your studies and on-the-job learning at your EDF location, while you start to specialise in your chosen field
* Final year - most of your time will be spent at your EDF location, while continuing your studies through distance learning
What will you be studying:
* There are four modules taught per year (full-time), covering a range of mechanical, electrical and control engineering, alongside nuclear specific modules. These are taught in seminar-style classroom and workshop settings, in a mix of face-to-face and online study
* Mathematics is embedded throughout, rather than taught as a separate module. A total of 12 modules are taught from the following list, depending on which degree pathway discipline is chosen
Qualifications you'll gain on completion of your Apprenticeship:
* Level 6 Nuclear Scientist and Nuclear Engineer Apprenticeship Standard
* Level 6 BEng (Hons) Degree - (Specific degree pathway dependent on chosen discipline).
* Awarded by University of the West of England (UWE Bristol)

Why Join Us?
For more than 60 years, nuclear power stations in the UK have been quietly keeping Britain fuelled with massive amounts of home-grown energy.
Our teams up and down the country are proudly continuing to serve the nation - but they also have an eye on the future.
EDF is leading the UK's nuclear renaissance with the construction of a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C and plans for a new power station at Sizewell C in Suffolk.
Nuclear power is the most reliable, low-carbon energy source currently available to the UK. EDF is playing a key role in the development of nuclear sites, while Hinkley Point C will provide low-carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK demand. The project is already making a positive impact on the local and national economy as well as boosting skills and education.
We're not just building new nuclear power stations. We're developing careers, upskilling generations and creating thousands of employment and apprenticeship opportunities across a variety of skills areas.
It takes a special kind of person to work in the nuclear energy industry and although we have thousands of them there's always a need for more.
Our industry has a mind-boggling range of opportunities and more jobs, and in more places, than you might think. But it's also an industry which is changing.
We're a responsible business and proud to be Britain's biggest generator of zero carbon electricity. With size, age and experience, we believe we can do even more. #J-18808-Ljbffr
