“Apprenticeships are a great way of earning and learning; with a starting salary of £25,878, far beyond the apprenticeship minimum wage.”
Wellcome Sanger Institute, from its own careers pages
The catch: Entry requirements are not on the apprenticeship page. They are set per vacancy on the job advert, and Sanger tells candidates to check the training provider's own rules, so two apprenticeships at the same level can want different grades.

Common questions

Does Wellcome Sanger Institute sponsor visas for its apprenticeships, intermediate level 2 to degree level 6?

Unconfirmed. Wellcome Sanger Institute publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeships, intermediate level 2 to degree level 6, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Wellcome Sanger Institute is a genomics research institute on the Wellcome Genome Campus near Cambridge with almost 1,000 staff. It runs apprenticeships in scientific research, scientific operations and management operations, covering HR, IT, engineering, administration and laboratory roles. Levels run from Intermediate Level 2 through Advanced Level 3, Higher Levels 4 to 7 and Degree Level 6. The starting salary is £25,878, which Sanger says is far beyond the apprenticeship minimum wage, and the Institute pays for the professional qualification with no clawback if the apprentice leaves. Apprentices get the approximate equivalent of 20 per cent protected study time, taken as one day a week or in one to two week blocks, plus a manager, a mentor and a buddy. Entry requirements are set per vacancy on the job advert. The pages say nothing about visa sponsorship.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme sits below the Skilled Worker salary threshold, which is itself a reason sponsorship is not possible.

What is the catch international students miss with Wellcome Sanger Institute?

Entry requirements are not on the apprenticeship page. They are set per vacancy on the job advert, and Sanger tells candidates to check the training provider's own rules, so two apprenticeships at the same level can want different grades.

When do applications open for the Wellcome Sanger Institute apprenticeships, intermediate level 2 to degree level 6?

No published date as of 1 October 2026. Checked on 2026-10-01 against Wellcome Sanger Institute's own site.
