Student stories

My first delivery is something I will always remember. I will never forget the feeling of my first birth and thinking how lucky I was to be in such a privileged position.

The staff are helpful and understanding. I have a great tutor, but if I had any issue, I could go to any lecturer and they would help. Surrey has a great community and you do not feel alone.

I’ve been grateful to be fully immersed in veterinary practice throughout my placements. There have been opportunities for me to work with a huge variety of species, ranging from sharks to servals!

A Professional Training placement is a fantastic opportunity to gain practical experience of what you're learning. It also enhances many personal skills and qualities which will be very valuable when you graduate.

There's a lot to like about my course, from the actual subjects to the wonderful people I've met. All throughout my degree, my lecturers have made every effort to not only help me succeed but to really get to know me.

Modules focus on improving natural and professional communication and involve tasks which really push you to look deeper, reading between the lines of what you are studying linguistically and culturally.

The course focuses less on literature and more on immersing yourself in the culture and language itself, teaching the lessons you need for the real world of work.
