Student stories

The people I met at Surrey both by living with them in halls, meeting them at societies, or on my degree programmes, including lecturers and staff, have played such an incomprehensible part of my life. My years spent in Guildford and at Surrey will be deeply etched in me for all of my life to come, and I cannot express my gratitude enough. #ForeverSurrey.

It was clear that Surrey is an academic hub with a brilliant reputation for research

Moreover, the flexibility offered by Politics to study and research areas I am specifically interested in made the overall experience enjoyable socially and academically.

Many on my course chose to do a placement instead of a dissertation, which is an excellent way to expose students to real-world experiences. The faculty has in-depth knowledge, which allows every student to get the most out of any course offered by the Department of Politics.
