In the UK it's both, 'degree apprenticeships' were introduced recently (couple of years ago):

('Higher' being 'degree equivalent', and 'degree' being with an actual degree conferred by an actual university.)

At Arm I had a colleague who was on that programme, and so was also studying at a university. I think it started off part-time, 2 and 3 days of a week or something, and then switched to term-here/term-there.

I agree, great scheme. (Icing on the cake: I believe the education is paid for (subsidised by government and paid for by company?) in addition to the work being paid.)

This is so great. I would have preferred to do something like this when I was fresh out of High School instead of going the traditional route of studying full-time or immediately entering the workforce.
