Student stories

The best things about Surrey are its supportive community, excellent facilities, and strong connections with industry leaders.

While studies are important, remember to enjoy your time in Guildford. Explore the town, make new friends, and create memories that will last beyond your academic journey.

Surrey’s unique offering, with its renowned Surrey Space Centre and collaborations with industry leaders such as SSTL, stood out as an ideal environment for cutting-edge learning and innovation.

The best aspect of studying at Surrey is the industry relevance. From day one, I felt connected to real-world applications, particularly through the university’s collaborations with top satellite companies.

I value the high level of knowledge I was able to acquire, and the warm, positive overall experience from my time here. It was a great combination of having fun and studying.

Surrey helped me in two key ways – the breadth of topics on the course that gave me exposure to lots of different aspects of designing, building and operating spacecraft, and the top-quality teaching provided by the faculty.
