Student stories

By getting me off to a flying start the Foundation Year has helped me settle into my first year more quickly.

A foundation year... was the perfect opportunity to ease into university life and try all the aspects of being at university.

As soon as I arrived at Surrey, I knew I had made the right choice: it was very quickly my home away from home.

I would definitely recommend a placement year to anyone in a position to take one!... I have no doubt that my placement year was key to me securing my graduate role with a top employer as I was able to evidence a range of skills and experience that I developed over the year.

My course has been challenging and engaging; however, when I finish my degree I’ll have eight exemptions from the professional ACA exams, which aids employability.
