Engineers matter. They invent, design and build technology that makes the world better. They’re crucial not just to the future of Dyson, but to the world. Technology ambitions demand a ready supply of the brightest engineers and scientists, and a national shortage of engineering talent is holding advancements back.  

It’s estimated that Britain will be short of 1.8 million engineers by 2025. A traditional approach to education isn’t going to solve it.   

More than 25 years ago, James Dyson set out to develop and invent new technology that would transform how products worked. In 2016, he set out to transform education. 

Our vision:

To develop the best engineers in the world who will pioneer technologies and radical new designs that shape the future of engineering and innovation.

Our mission:*

To support Dyson by combining rigorous academic programmes with work on revolutionary future products, advancing technology globally through ground-breaking research and the development of engineering leaders.

Never stand still.

We are not restricted by conventional thinking. It takes all kinds of minds to forge a different path. Experts in engineering education, unafraid to challenge tradition in order to stay ahead.

We are brave explorers, curious and excited by the unknown. We embrace experimentation, always learning and developing.

Never give up.

Driven by our authentic desire to develop the best engineers in the world, we dare to think differently and turn challenges into opportunities.

The journey isn’t always easy, but we push ourselves forward, knowing that the best solutions are often the hardest to find. When we encounter problems, we think of creative ways to solve them.

Never stop innovating.

We embrace ingenious thinking to find radical solutions, always pursuing progress. We don’t copy what other people do. We pioneer.

We discover and learn from ourselves to form new ideas and approaches, never afraid to step into the unknown. We are proud to be trailblazers, forging a path for others to follow.

Never be satisfied.

We believe the best can always be made better. We are never willing to compromise or settle for “good enough”. Instead, we challenge ourselves to find improvement.

By continuously iterating and refining, we design educational approaches that are different and better.
