The approach

Postgraduate Pharmaceutical Sciences students

As the environment changes, we will evolve our provision to advance knowledge, societal progress and the skills needed to equip students for future success. Cultivating a sense of pride and belonging within a welcoming, active academic community that values open discourse will remain central.

Technology

Our provision will make greater use of technology to offer personalised educational paths and student support. In particular, we will utilise generative AI to oversee transformational change in a wide range of areas, from the introduction of tailored learning experiences, intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning platforms, radically new assessment design and assessment management through to advanced data-driven insights. 

Employability

Employability is not just a goal but a cornerstone of Surrey’s educational mission. Thus, at the heart of our vision lies a commitment to shaping future-ready leaders equipped with transferable, adaptive skills prepared for an ever-evolving job market and societal landscape. Our commitment lies in nurturing the unique talent and potential of every student, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and growth, and equipping them with the tools and skills necessary for success not only in university but also in their future endeavours. 

Responsive curricula

In an ever-changing world, education must be purposeful and flexible, enabling us to always be responsive to the demands of students and the shifting landscape of the global workplace. 

Embracing diversity in the curriculum and assessment design, we will be proactive in addressing skills gaps and undertaking practical skills-based assessment and certification, encouraging creativity and continuous improvement so that this approach maximises the development of higher order thinking skills, holistic understanding, engagement and motivation.
