Student stories

Surrey helped my career by having the Professional Training placement experience on my CV. It was such a game-changer in interviews. Other candidates would reference university projects or modules, while I’d use real-world examples working on real projects. My placement helped me get ahead of the competition.

The modules themselves were so interesting with a unique range of texts, which I may never have discovered on my own".

Surrey was the only university I could see myself at. I nearly didn't apply, but after visiting the campus I was sure that I wanted to study at Surrey.

I wanted to study a music degree that was renowned in the audio industry, which also used strong elements of maths and physics.

It’s a privilege to work in a community of professionals who constantly strive to achieve the best possible results, through the common belief that what we do is special and everlasting.

I’ve decided to pursue a career in the industry after graduation and am going to join the Amazon Alexa team in London."
