The traditional academic year usually starts around September each year, with students needing to apply many weeks or months beforehand.
While some degree apprenticeships also work this way, others are continually advertised throughout the year. This can provide greater flexibility, though the lack of one single window and exhaustive list of options available can make it trickier to compare.
You'll therefore need to be prepared to regularly check what positions are on offer, and apply before each deadline. See full help on finding a role below.
