“Be bold. Be radical. The world needs more radicals.” - James Dyson. Four years after The Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology was established, this weekend we celebrated the graduation of our first cohort of Undergraduate Engineers. The first year-group of 33 students graduated on Saturday in a ceremony on Dyson’s Campus in Hullavington Airfield, where they were joined by James Dyson. They all achieved a BEng Degree Apprenticeship in Engineering from WMG, University of Warwick, and have all chosen to accept full time roles at Dyson. Congratulations to every one of our graduates! Learn about the pioneering Dyson Institute and meet some of the graduates on the Dyson Newsroom below.
