About the programme
The Quality function in AstraZeneca tests the products we make and then works with Manufacturing to release the products to the market.
Our Quality apprenticeships offer a variety of learning opportunities gaining useable skills whilst working closely alongside industry experts and professionals.
We offer two types of Quality apprenticeships, one within Quality Assurance which has a practical emphasis on drug sampling, drug archiving and package components testing, whilst the other as a Quality Practitioner focuses on assuring the quality of safety and efficacy of our pharmaceutical products.
How does the programme work?
The roles within Quality range from 18 months to 3 years. Please see individual job advertisements for more information.
