Graduate Dominic Short Acting BA (Hons) The thing that attracted me most to GSA was the sense of community within the School. There was a much friendlier atmosphere at the audition stage, compared to other schools, it felt like my presence at the audition was valued.
Graduate Laura Loutit Musical Theatre BA (Hons) GSA isn’t just for however long your course is; it’s a community and support network you carry with you forever that supports and uplifts each and every member and I feel very lucky to be a little part of that. I think that’s very rare when it comes to conservatoire training, due to the competitive nature of the industry, but I know whenever I need it, GSA is always there.
Graduate Christina Bennington Musical Theatre BA (Hons) My strongest and fondest memories are of full school internal showings of work. I loved coming together with all the teachers and students to share what we’d been doing during the term. It was very supportive and inspiring to see the talent and individuality in the School."
Graduate Libby Ward Theatre Production BA (Hons) Take advantage of being a student for as long as possible. Companies love helping students, whether it’s giving you discounts or offering you work experience during the holidays, and it never hurts to just ask the question!
Graduate Alexandra Mardell Acting BA (Hons) “Drama school training is like no other. You’ll learn skills you never even intended to and make friends who will always understand you like no others.”
Student Gabriella Culham Economics and Finance BSc (Hons) What initially attracted me to studying at Surrey, was the range of placement opportunities that were available to me during my degree. Especially as Surrey has won the National Undergraduate Employability (NUE) award for the Best University Placement Service, two years in a row.
Graduate Oli Jacobs Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) BSc (Hons) Graduate Tonmeisters are an amazing network to be a part of and even now I call on people I studied with to help, either for advice, or for a project together.
Graduate Hinako Omori Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) BSc (Hons) In the last few years, my main projects have been touring as a session musician/programmer and I’ve felt incredibly lucky to be able to explore cities in countries I haven’t visited before, in the name of work.
Graduate Scott Tatsuta Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) Without a doubt the best thing about my course was the ability to specialise in a field. The Creative Music Technology course allows students to study a wide range of topics and find where their strengths and interests align.
