Student stories

I attended an Open Day and knew straight away that this was where I wanted to be. I really appreciated how welcoming and safe Surrey’s campus felt – I got a real sense of community and belonging.

I’ve been offered a job from my placement for when I graduate next year!

Surrey has great employability ratings for graduates and it was a good location for me. I also liked the layout and feel of the campus, I knew I would be comfortable and feel safe.

I've had the privilege of making friends that I now consider as close as family, and I'm grateful to Surrey for providing me with the chance to continually connect with new people.

My placement has had a hugely positive impact on my university experience, as it taught me to have more confidence in my ability to tackle challenges. I also developed key skills which are proving essential in my final year studies.

I was promoted whilst on placement to Rescue Network Coordinator which had me organising and leading seal rescue training events all over Ireland which I absolutely loved.
