About the apprenticeship programme

GH Display, in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), runs a Project Manager Degree Apprentice Programme. This programme allows you to earn while you learn, working full time with GH Display while studying towards a BSc (Hons) Project Management degree.

You’ll gain a nationally recognised qualification while developing the skills to manage projects, people, and processes effectively within a fast‑paced commercial environment.

The apprenticeship blends academic learning with hands‑on experience, giving you a strong foundation in project management principles, leadership, and operational practice.
