Student stories

The modules offer a chance to explore things that are not necessarily in the ‘canon’ of English literature - we study politics, ideologies, history, philosophy and so much more".

I wanted to come to Surrey because it was one of the only universities in the UK to focus on language learning for more “practical” situations.

Campus life is amazing and being around your friends all of the time is so reassuring.

The opportunity to do a Professional Training placement was a huge part of why I chose to come to Surrey, particularly because it’s relatively unique for a BA (Hons) English Literature course." 

I would say University of Surrey is really a nice place to live and study. The campus has breath-taking scenery with luscious greenery and an opulent lake.

The professional staff and all the facilities that I use are a highlight for me.

I can now say that I am becoming a much more mature learner with strong independent thinking ability."
