Student Opportunities

Acquiring an education in engineering and science can be an expensive business and deciding on a career path at the end can be confusing without prior experience.

Our sixth-form and undergraduate student opportunities offer financial assistance, personal development opportunities and the experience you need to make decisions about your future.

Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme (DTUS)

Following a review, we are unlikely to be opening for DTUS applications this year.

DTUS - The Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme is our  undergraduate sponsorship programme for those students who want a head-start into a DESG career. Whilst the adventure and development opportunities have a military flavour - you will go on to join the MoD Civil Service Graduate Scheme as a civilian engineer or scientist.
