Student life

Immerse yourself in our unique culture.

You’ll be part of a small and close-knit year group of like-minded students from a wide range of backgrounds. In your first year, we recommend that you live with your peers on-campus in provided bespoke accommodation. If you have life commitments that prevent this, then please speak to our friendly admissions team.

From day one, you’ll be part of the growing global Dyson community – with all the opportunity that brings. From clubs and societies to events and student committees – there’s always something happening. Whatever your interests there is plenty to get involved in. 

33%

of our undergraduates are female - almost double the average of UK engineering students.

You'll never be bored.

At the Dyson Institute, you’ll never be bored. A whole series of social activities are organised by the Dyson Institute Student Committee, like go-karting, cookery classes with Joe Croan (our formidable head chef, who was trained by the Michelin-starred Marco Pierre White), ice skating, cheering on Bath Rugby, and much more. There are numerous clubs and societies to get involved in, within both the Institute and Dyson – as well as opportunities in the local community. There’s also the famous Dyson Winter and Summer celebrations. 

The student social team also provides a free fortnightly coach service to Bath or Bristol for the evening, and even supports an annual ski trip. And this is all on top of the bars, cafés, shops, music and events in nearby Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, and the numerous Cotswold towns that surround us.
