Student stories

The best things about Surrey are its supportive community, excellent facilities, and strong connections with industry leaders.

While studies are important, remember to enjoy your time in Guildford. Explore the town, make new friends, and create memories that will last beyond your academic journey.

Surrey’s unique offering, with its renowned Surrey Space Centre and collaborations with industry leaders such as SSTL, stood out as an ideal environment for cutting-edge learning and innovation.

I found the industrial placement a brilliant foot in the door, and the connections I made through the guest speakers helped me to secure my first role in sustainability soon after graduation.

I loved that my course was so interdisciplinary and brought so many people together from different walks of life, age groups and academic backgrounds to think about how we can help solve climate change.

I knew that to transition from being purely operational to taking on more senior leadership responsibilities, I needed to develop my leadership skills and understand broader business concepts. Within 2 months of achieving the Surrey EMBA I was promoted to Head of Operations.
