Summary
This course is primarily delivered live online, with students coming to Cranfield School of Management four times a year for a full day. The Senior Investment and Commercial Banking Professional Apprenticeship provides a unique opportunity for you to gain an advanced-level understanding of a wide range of management functions and to develop specialist knowledge in banking, economics, finance, and sustainable development goals relevant to the financial services sector. This programme will provide you with the foundations of the various dimensions of retail banking and several aspects of general management, such as analysis of the economic environment, financial management, organisational management, strategic marketing, and business strategy and aims to improve your critical awareness of management and organisations. In addition, the work-based project allows you to tackle a substantial task within your organisation under the guidance of academic supervisors. Through responsible practical application, it will also enable you to advance your knowledge and skills so you can contribute towards a more sustainable retail banking industry and perform effectively and efficiently in the highly competitive and fast changing retail and digital banking sector, which is also challenged to become more sustainable. Drawing on faculty from across Cranfield School of Management, the programme is led by Cranfield’s Economics and Banking Group, which has been consistently ranked UK top 10 in the Financial Times Global MBA Ranking for its teaching of economics in relation to our full-time MBA programme. Additionally, this programme provides employer organisations the ability to sponsor multiple high potential employees. It will be particularly attractive to financial institutions that want to use their apprenticeship levy to develop their early career employees in retail banking.

| Entry requirements | Academic requirements Applicants who do not have a degree are welcome provided they can demonstrate high levels of achievement, exceptional career progression or evidence of financial management potential. Professional experience and personal qualities are equally important to us and each application is considered on its individual merit. To study for a formal award with us you will need to demonstrate that you can communicate effectively in English in an academic environment prior to the start of the course. Most applicants meet our English language requirements by having previously obtained a higher education level qualification from a UK university. Applicants without UK qualifications can usually meet the English requirement through employment in the UK (a minimum of 5 years continuous employment immediately prior to the start of the course is required), providing you can supply a reference from your current employer which explicitly confirms you are able to communicate effectively in English. Full details of how you can meet our requirements can be found on our English language requirements page. Apprenticeship requirements A three-way agreement needs to be put in place between Cranfield University, the employer and the student. As part of all Higher-Level Apprenticeships in England (this includes all apprenticeship provision at Cranfield University), it is a requirement by the Education and Skills Funding Agency that an apprentice holds or achieves an approved level 2 qualification in Mathematics and English before they can successfully complete the apprenticeship. Such evidence can include GCSE/O Level grade C/4 or higher. Please see list for details of acceptable qualifications - List of acceptable qualifications, under tab Level_3_Apprenticeships. Please note that Degree certificates (unless the words 'Mathematics' or 'English' are in the title) and secure English language tests, like IELTS, are not deemed acceptable by the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Before an application is submitted for our Senior Leader Apprenticeship programme, prospective students need to have approval from the employer. Students have to be employed and your employer has to agree to provide you with the support and supervision to carry out your job role and your apprenticeship. It is a requirement of the Apprenticeship Funding Rules that you are working at least 50% of your contracted hours in England. |
