17. What is the Russell Group?
Formed in 1994 at a meeting convened in Russell Square.
An association of 24 major research intensive universities committed to maintaining the highest standards of research, education and knowledge transfer.
The purpose of The Russell Group is to provide strong leadership and strategic direction for its members.
Representing just 12% of the higher education sector, the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise found that over 60% of the UK’s very best (‘world leading’) research took place in Russell Group universities.

Apprenticeships take 1 to 5 years to complete depending on their level

23. Levels of apprenticeship
Traineeship: Level 1 or Level 2 (equivalent to GCSEs or below). Unpaid but you gain skills and qualifications. Intermediate: Level 2 (equivalent to GCSEs). Advanced: Level 3 (equivalent to A-levels).
