Every year, talented Alleynians leave Dulwich to make their way in the world. Many of them have received support from a means-tested bursary place at the College, and all of them go on to make great impact on the world. Some leavers begin their university studies immediately, taking on challenging studies at world-leading institutions, while others take gap years to travel, do charitable work or gain invaluable internship experiences, and some even go directly into their chosen profession via apprenticeships and entrepreneurship. Dulwich College prepares our leavers to take their next steps, wherever they might be, with confidence.

“Ever since I can remember, I have been passionate about the intersection of business and technology. During my time at Dulwich College, I have met some incredible people who encouraged me to work hard and aim high. Thanks to their support, I fulfilled one of the biggest dreams of my life – studying in the USA. I am currently enrolled in a dual degree program at the University of Pennsylvania, where I have an opportunity to study computer engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and economics at the Wharton School of Business.” Piotr Lazarek OA (2019-21), University of Pennsylvania “When I was considering Engineering at Cambridge, my teachers at Dulwich provided me with a huge amount of advice and support, from personal statement review to interview practice. In addition, the Dulwich environment, including relevant projects that I undertook in Years 12 and 13, gave me insight into what studying Engineering at such a highly reputed university would be like. I truly look forward to what the future holds for me at Cambridge.” Tasin Sayed OA (2019-21), Engineering at Cambridge University “After Dulwich, I accepted a place at Newcastle University and then did a gap year at Scotch College (Australia) where I coached rugby and helped around the school. I found that I liked working, and so I decided to turn down my university place and search out apprenticeship opportunities instead. Last year, I accepted a place with Miller Insurances, and this year, I’ve accepted a full-time job as a Placing Broker. Dulwich massively prepared me for my transition from school to work, from academics to people skills, and Dulwich gave me the confidence to feel that I can take on any role.” Haydn Oakley OA (2013-18), Miller Insurances Apprenticeship

“I received several offers from universities to study aerospace engineering, but I decided to pursue an apprenticeship with Rolls Royce because I could get paid to work and study at the same time. I accepted an apprenticeship with Rolls Royce, and I’ve enjoyed my experiences here so much, from placements in aerospace to nuclear engineering, that I plan to stay on at Rolls Royce for years to come, even after my apprenticeship finishes. My apprenticeship has given me a head start – I'm doing exactly what I want to do.” James Barnett OA (2010-19), Rolls Royce Apprenticeship
