Student Katie Ayling Nutrition and Dietetics BSc (Hons) I've already completed a placement at a hospital in Ashford, Kent. I absolutely loved the experience and it really reassured me that being a dietitian is what I want to do.
Student Anika Scott Civil Engineering MEng There’s no typical day at Hewson: it’s a fast-paced work environment with new challenges each day, and I’ve worked on over 15 different projects since starting here.
Student Florence Andrews Media and Communication BSc (Hons) There are so many reasons why I love Surrey but I think the main one is that Surrey feels like a home away from home, everyone is so friendly and approachable and it is always so lively.
Student Natasha Blakemore Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) BSc (Hons) I spent my placement at Sky Production Services as a Trainee Dubbing Mixer. I did a lot of editing (dialogue, voiceover) as well as syncing and preparing projects for others in the department. The highlights were getting to mix two shows for Sky Kids and Sky Arts.
Student Alice Brooks Modern Languages (French and Spanish) BA (Hons) We have access to a huge range of books and materials, computers with specialised software for language learners, and staff on hand during the weekdays to provide support. The classrooms also boast features to support listening practice.
Student Annabel Sheridan Music BMus (Hons) For my professional training placement, I went to London to work with the National Youth Orchestra (NYO) and am now with Guildford Jazz working as a student ambassador.
Student Miguel Escudero Aerospace Engineering MEng My placement experience was great overall: it taught me plenty and helped me make some really good professional connections. I was given a lot more responsibility than I expected as a placement student.
Student Tom Lang Automotive Engineering BEng (Hons) I do enjoy the salary, but the best part is definitely the people I’ve met – everyone has been so pleasant, welcoming and helpful.
Student Tiffany Biles Physics with Quantum Technologies BSc (Hons) Life as a student is very different to working 9-5 and I’ve appreciated the challenge of this change so far. I’ve learned to prioritise a work-life balance and value my free time, and it’s allowed me to differentiate between mindsets and strengthen my wellbeing.
