At Lloyds Banking Group, we don’t just keep the lights on in financial services - we’re busy rewiring the whole system. With over 23 million digitally active customers, we’re the UK’s biggest digital bank. But here’s the thing: we’re nowhere near done.

That’s why we’re investing up to £3bn each year in game-changing tech like cloud platforms, AI and next-gen engineering. And we’d love you to be part of it.

As a Technology Engineering Apprentice, you won’t be making tea or watching from the sidelines. You’ll be coding, testing and building the digital tools that millions of people and businesses rely on every single day.

Four years. Big projects. Endless possibilities

This four-year programme is your launchpad into Software Engineering. You’ll split your time between Edinburgh Napier Uni and LBG. Learning the theory in class and then putting it straight to work on real-world projects.

You’ll cover modules like:

• Year 1 – Software design, maths for engineering, human-computer interaction, data science with Python, computer systems
• Year 2 – Databases, object-oriented development, algorithms & data structures, web tech
• Year 3 – Advanced web tech, engineering methods, applied projects
• Year 4 – Software architecture, cyber security, and a big-impact honours project

By the end, you’ll graduate with a BSc (Hons) in Software Development and four years of exceptional hands-on experience.

The impact you could make

• Build and test real digital products that customers use every day

• Blended learning that mixes university with hands-on projects
• Time carved out just for your development
• A mentor, a manager and a buddy (because even coders need a squad)
• A community of techies who speak fluent Python… and share your goals

Your future. Fully funded

We’ll cover your degree fees and pay you a salary while you learn. You’ll walk away with:

• A fully funded BSc (Hons) in Software Development
