Design Week at Jaguar Land Rover is an exciting and unique opportunity for pupils in years 11 to 13 to experience first-hand exactly what goes on behind closed doors - we are offering you the chance to come and see what working for our company is really like. 

You will meet employees from within the Design, Research and Development teams and learn more about our apprenticeship opportunities. You will learn about what it takes to be a designer at Jaguar Land Rover. The course will be inspiring, engaging and will provide you with a real insight into Jaguar Land Rover Design.

You must be available to attend the entire duration of the course; please check the dates below.

The course is open to all students from current year 11 and above who have a genuine interest in design. To be considered for a place, you must have, or be predicted to achieve, four GCSEs at grade C or above including maths, English and science.

Competency questions

These questions will give you the opportunity to provide specific evidence of your skills within three areas which are important for Jaguar Land Rover.

Team working Our associates are true team players, recognising the benefits of working with others across all areas of Jaguar Land Rover and contributing to both our immediate and larger goals. Describe a time when you had to work with a team of people you didn’t know very well on a task or project (word limit = 250) How did you develop effective relationships with your team members? What did you do to support your team members to complete the challenge/task/project? What approach did you take when working with your team members? Why did you take that approach? What do you think the benefits were of working with those in the team?           

Design Our design team takes an idea or an inspiration and produces a beautifully designed car. Describe a project that you have worked on to design a product or a corporate identity. (word limit = 250) Where did you get your inspiration from? What processes did you go through during the project? Why did you choose this design over others? What support did you receive from others, and why? What have you learnt from this project?           

Communication Our associates are great communicators; they are able to get their message across to others in an engaging and meaningful way. Describe a time when you had to explain something complicated to someone (word limit = 250). How did you choose which method of communication to use? What else did you consider when communicating with that person? How did you establish whether they understood what you had communicated? How did you respond to any queries or concerns they had? What was it about your communication style/approach which led to your success?
