Student stories

I enjoy the freedom of Literature that Surrey encourages, allowing me to explore various avenues such as creative writing, broadening my interests and skills.

It’s just incredible to be able to write my own work and explore different formats. I’ve always been a prose writer, but by my final year I’ve written poems, short stories and scripts as well.

The staff are insightful, supportive, and passionate about the subject they’re teaching. The way in which they arouse and sustain our intellectual curiosity, their dedication and professionalism are truly inspiring.

I contacted several potential supervisors from various universities but was instantly seduced by the accessibility and generosity of spirit of staff from the School of Literature and Languages at the University of Surrey .

If you have the means to study a masters, do it. Honestly, it shapes you as a person, changes the way you think, and helps you figure out things. You will also get the chance to meet amazing people.

The experiences and opportunities provided by Surrey have enhanced various skills that are highly valued in the job market. These include adaptability, communication skills, organisational abilities, critical thinking, and intercultural competence.

The staff are an absolute joy. Knowledgeable, insightful, and always willing to give advice. They are all such a huge part of why I enjoyed this course.
