Dyson Institute 2024 Applicants

Hey guys! I'm interested in applying to the dyson institute for 2025 entry, could you guys please tell me what the application process was like? what did you write about in your personal statement? what were the online assessments like and how did you prep for them?

Application was fairly simple, keep an eye out for when it opens because the first stage is just a form that registers your application (name, predicted grades etc). After that it's the online stage which is recorded interviews and game-based assessments. You can't really prep for the game-based assessments, they're pattern recognition and mental maths kinda things. For the interviews, I'd recommend planning your answers based on the 'non-academic requirements' from the website. These are kinda like mini personal statements; what you did and what you learnt from it, how it's related to the requirements. You get given a prompt/question (e.g. how do you feel about deadlines?) and you get 2 attempts to record urself speaking for a minute and a half. The Institute holds preparation webinars before every stage, so I'd definitely recommend going to those as a refresher. We didn't need an actual personal statement for our applications, so I'd assume you wouldn't either (unless they change that, make sure you're on the email newsletter just in case).
Good luck!!

Ok I’ll take the risk that ur not an undercover spy, I am first year and I didn’t apply to any other das coz they didn’t look very appealing but this one is based (apart from the location)

i've done no prep lolll i only just submitted the initial application. honestly i dont think i even wanna go to dyson anymore, im just applying for the sake of it i guess

Hey guys, hope you are all well. I am currently at the Dyson Institute so if anyone would like to know anything about... well, anything. Be sure to ask away.

ALSO, forgot this one. You get 2 choices at the end of the 4 years,
Option 1. Take sabbatical 3 months and you get £10,000 for that
Option 2. Take a 1 year sabbatical where a job will be ready for you when you get back, but you won't get any money towards it
