Undergraduate Engineer Review

In a typical week, I'm spending 2 days a week in lectures or studying for my degree. The other three I'm immersed into the heart of dysons RDD division. For the first 2 years I was on rotation through different teams, having now chosen to settle in a software team for the final 2 years of the course. I'm given high levels of responsibility but feel incredibly supported

Too many to list, I've developed across mechanical, electronic and software engineering gaining both technical and interpersonal skills, and that's not even including what's learnt through the degree side.

Thoroughly, it's hard work but very rewarding

At times things are last minute, especially when relating to Warwick's provision of the course, but on the whole it's pretty good. Staff/student dialogue from the Dyson Institute team is extremely good compared to a typical university for example

I'm supported by my line manager, my Institute student support adviser and the institute team as a whole. My work team are also incredibly supportive

Degree support is good from warwick mostly with some caveats, some modules are run better than others. However improvement has been seen over time, the feedback process is good. Level 6 apprenticeship support has been historically poor, but again seems to be improving. I caveat all this with the fact any future joiners will have their training provided by Dyson, so this will likely improve

Modules tend to support the workplace on the whole

Some, Dyson has some company wide clubs. The institute itself also has many small clubs and puts on events regularly using the student experience budget. The annual ski trip is also a real highlight

Yes

Free degree, get paid, 4 years of work experience, and I love it

Read around the company, know the ethos and show you're different, authentic and pioneering - with evidence
