Student stories

Surrey’s Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) is the number one department in the UK for Computer Vision. There was no doubt in my mind that amazing research is done here at the university and that's something I wanted to be a part of.

I particularly valued the consistent support from both lab assistants and lecturers, who were always available to help with any questions. The university also provided additional support through bootcamps, office hours, and the PALS scheme, which helped me with my studies.

The university’s placement team was incredibly helpful and motivating throughout the entire process. Despite the setbacks, their unwavering belief and support were a massive reason I was able to acquire my placement.

From a young age, I always loved problem-solving and technology and so I knew I wanted to go into Engineering. This followed into secondary school where I greatly enjoyed computing and physics but specifically the circuitry topics so Electronic Engineering seemed like the perfect fit.

Placement was the best way to get valuable work experience and cement my theoretical experiences at university. I feel well-equipped to join the engineering workforce post-graduation as a result of my placement.

During my time studying my course, I have been particularly fond of the wide variety of topics covered. This allowed me to discover which areas of Computer Science I enjoyed most.
