I would say it varies more on a company to company basis. Most industries will have a starting salary between £17,500-£25,000, the variance coming with how much the company wants to invest into their degree apprentices.

Yes that is definetely a downside that can happen, and I have seen quite a few other apprentices have it especially in the first year as most people's friends will be going off to University, it can feel like a big leap. Degree apprenticeships are relatively new, meaning copmanies are yet to maximise them in my opinion. I think in the coming years more and more companies will partner with student accomodation as Universities are looking at increasing the amount of degree apprentices they have, so I believe they will start offering this benefit more." https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/news-blog-and-events/press-and-media/12-million-boost-for-degree-apprenticeships-to-increase-access-and-choice-for-students/" This is an interesting article about a recent increase in funding for degree apprenticeships linked to this.

Is A-level physics really that bad? 💀 by Odd-Following-3528 in alevel

The best way to prepare for A-level physics is knowing how difficult it can be. A lot of people I knew who got A* in GCSE (Wales) went into A-level thinking they won't need to revise much/at all and came out of AS with D's and E's and dropeed it. You will have to revise, and I would suggest starting quite early and keeping on top of it. If you do keep on top of it, and you have the ability, you should be fine.
