MEng (Hons) Engineering (International) degree with year abroad

Bring academic theory to life

At the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, you won’t just study – you’ll design, build, and innovate alongside Dyson’s world-class engineers. Our unique MEng Engineering (International) employer sponsored degree programme blends rigorous academic learning with project work on next-generation Dyson products, plus a transformative 12-month international experience in Dyson’s Asia offices. Graduate with a degree, global perspective, and the skills to lead as you begin your accelerated international Dyson career.

Years 1 and 2

In your first two years you'll study a general engineering syllabus. Designed to be academically rigorous, you'll gain a strong academic and technical foundation across software, mechanical, electrical and electronics, and electromechanical engineering. Three complementary rotations in Dyson Research and Development teams will help you consolidate your learning and apply engineering fundamentals to real world problems.

You'll spend three days a week in the workplace or on work-based projects and two days a week studying.

Year 3

After a semester of full-time teaching, you'll start your year abroad in Asia where you'll work and be immersed in Dyson engineering five days a week. You’ll have time in Singapore, where Dyson’s Global Headquarters is based, alongside other areas of strategic importance, such as the Philippines, Malaysia or China. This will give you the opportunity to experience the full product lifecycle, from concept to production line, whilst developing a global engineering perspective.

You'll have short periods of study leave to complete three complementary modules during your time abroad.

Please note: all international assignments are reliant on securing the appropriate visas and work permits required; Dyson will co-ordinate the immigration process on your behalf. Locations will depend on current business need. All associated business travel costs will be covered and accommodation will be provided by Dyson.

Year 4

You’ll return to the UK in year four, with an opportunity to choose elective modules, tailoring your study to your interests. You’ll also complete your Final Year Project: an opportunity to explore an area of your interest through independent study on a real-world engineering project, developing advanced skills in research, analysis, and problem solving.

'I believe opting for a degree programme with a work-based element has had the biggest impact on where I am in my career today. Without the workplace rotations in the first two years of the course, I wouldn’t have been aware of acoustics as an engineering discipline.' - Sophie - Acoustics & Vibrations Engineer, Dyson Institute Graduate 2021

The start of an accelerated Dyson career.

Our employer-sponsored degree enables you to pursue your passion for engineering, without tuition fees whilst earning a salary. From day one, you’ll be part of the growing global Dyson community.

You will learn and work on Dyson's campus, where you can make the most of our state-of-the-art facilities and enjoy in-person support from Dyson Institute academics and Dyson engineers. Working and collaborating with others, you'll help to solve problems that others ignore.

Your learning won’t end at graduation.

The seamless transition to the next step in your Dyson career will build on your four-year head start, with individual progression pathways designed to develop future leaders to drive innovation and engineering globally.
