I would recommend a university that not only provides you with a strong academic base, but throws you into a condensed version of the real world...

When I decided to pursue a masters degree in Human Resources Management, I picked three key factors for my decision making: availability of a placement year, CIPD accreditation and the campus. The first two already made Surrey one of my top picks, but where I truly fell in love with Surrey was the campus. 

I found sessions organised by Economics with different potential employers important when they came for an on campus visit ahead of the careers day. These sessions were filled with insights from many different industries that helped me decide on the way forward.

The best thing about the course was how relevant and applicable it was to real life scenarios and how the theory had an impact on current events.
