Struggling to Navigate Your Degree Apprenticeship Journey?
Expert guidance for students pursuing degree apprenticeships and university applications
About Me
Hi, I'm Kaylan Ruparellia. I'm currently in my second year of a design engineering degree apprenticeship with Dyson. My own journey was rigorous—filled with multiple rounds of applications and interviews.
I've applied to prestigious programs at companies like Jaguar, Goldman Sachs, PwC, KPMG, and even reached the final stage with JP Morgan for finance and engineering roles. Although I secured a spot at UCL for Mechanical Engineering, I chose the apprenticeship route to gain real-world experience alongside my studies.
At St Olave's Grammar School, I achieved top grades (A*, A*, A in Physics, Maths, and Economics), and I'm eager to share the insights and strategies that helped me navigate this competitive process.
