“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.
Developing new technology is risky, but it's not something Dyson has ever shied away from. Discover the next part of the story, Core Technologies below:
Introducing the Race Against Dementia Dyson Fellowship. The James Dyson Foundation funds a five year, £500,000 dementia research Fellowship in partnership with former F1 driver Jackie Stewart’s charity, Race Against Dementia. Our Fellow, Dr Claire Durrant, seeks to establish new human models of Alzheimer’s disease. Dyson engineers are helping Claire analyse brain samples on a microscopic level, using in-house equipment and expertise at Dyson’s labs in Wiltshire. An approach used for future-focused battery research, and it’s just the start. During World Alzheimer’s Awareness month, take a closer look on the Dyson Newsroom below:
