Employability and careers
“Surrey has an enviable record in the graduate jobs market, with consistently large numbers of graduates going into high-skilled jobs when they leave. This is no accident; the pathways to their later success are laid down during their studies. The University has an exceptional placement programme for its students and is renowned for working closely with the business community.
“In an increasingly competitive graduate jobs market, a degree from the University of Surrey opens doors.”
Alastair McCall, editor of The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide.
