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 Rhyne Chambers Modern Languages, French and Spanish BA (Hons) I like the fact the Surrey allows you to have a 50/50 split between your two languages choices, as that was something other universities didn’t offer. I also like that students are given a choice of subject for written assignments.
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 Adam Gorry Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) I was attracted to some of the most unusual parts of music where there were no strict Western Classical limits, and experimentation was celebrated. This is where Surrey stood out from other universities – the possibilities felt so limitless
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 Jack Bell Media and Communication BSc (Hons) I like how there is such a broad variety of modules that can link with other disciplines such as sociology, criminology and politics.
Student Teerna Mukhopadhyay Music BMus (Hons) The academic staff are absolutely wonderful and one element about the course that really struck me was how genuinely passionate they were about their chosen specialism.
Graduate Amelia Lunnon Business Management BSc (Hons) I was really impressed by the flexibility of my degree, as I was able to do both a study abroad semester and a placement year.
Student Lewis Maxwell Business Management BSc (Hons) The Business Management degree at the University of Surrey has allowed me to explore different avenues of business and even tailor the experience to meet my interests.
