Why did you choose to study your course at Surrey?

I wanted to study at a university that was near my home, which would let me be with my husband and daughter during my studies. Furthermore, my employer sponsored my education, so the course was a great fit for both my personal goals and the work we do at the company.

What are the best things about Surrey and your course?

The course was designed as a series of intensive learning weeks, with each module requiring just one week at the university. This approach helped me complete the course over five years, taking one module per semester and keeping my time away from my job to a minimum. Instead of exams, the course relied on pre-module, in-class, and post-module assignments, which played to my strengths.
