Offer information
If you receive an offer following Assessment Day, this will be conditional on achieving the necessary entry requirements. You'll need to either provide evidence you have already met these, or you'll be required to evidence this upon completion of your current degree course.
.
You will receive an offer pack with all the information required to consider this offer, including your employment contract, terms and conditions, and relevant programme and employment information.
If you receive an offer you will also be required to pass relevant employment checks, administered by Dyson Technology Ltd. which include:
- ID verification
- proof of National Insurance
- adverse media check (published material; not social media)
- basic DBS check
.
When you join the Dyson Institute, you will sign a number of documents including an employment contract with Dyson Technology Limited. The employment contract is a permanent employment contract that reflects the journey from a postgraduate to a fully-fledged Dyson engineer. After graduation you will transition to the next step in your Dyson career, where you will take on a full-time role in Dyson.
As postgraduate at the Dyson Institute, you will pay no tuition fees. Instead, you will be a permanently employed and salaried member of staff. In exchange for Dyson’s significant investment in you by funding your two years of study, you will be expected to complete a minimum of two years employment, post-graduation. Should you opt to leave Dyson within two years of graduation, then Dyson will seek to recuperate a proportion of the costs associated to the funding of your MSc degree.
Your notice period will be 12 weeks throughout your postgraduate studies and will remain unchanged following your graduation.
Dyson can, in certain circumstances, agree to accept a shorter period of notice on a fully discretionary basis. Examples of when that discretion might be exercised include scenarios where your personal circumstances materially change such that you cannot continue working or studying. This may include health difficulties, or caring responsibilities.
As a Postgraduate Engineer, you'll have some benefits specific to your role, but as a Dyson engineer, you're also entitled to similar employee benefits as all Dyson people.
