Student stories

Taking part in the placement module can offer valuable insights into your career and future prospects. It allows you to gain hands-on experience by working for a company and truly understanding what it's like.

My favourite part of the course is the time spent in the teaching labs. When you are in the lab, you get your hands “dirty” and apply everything you have been taught in lectures and learn through experience. Nothing compares to the joy you feel when something you have been working on very hard, finally comes to life!

I'm passionate about my course because it has the power to drive positive change and transform the world in meaningful ways. It's not just a field of study, it's a lifelong journey of exploration and discovery.

My time at Surrey has had a profound impact on my employability post-graduation. The course content, which is always up-to-date with the latest trends, has equipped me with cutting-edge knowledge and skills.

Ever since I stepped foot on campus for the first time, Surrey felt like a home to me. With everyone at the university being so friendly and helpful I had no doubt, I’d have an incredible experience by choosing to study here.

The university has a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The student community is diverse, and there are numerous opportunities to meet people from different backgrounds.

Space, stars, and the underlying science behind them has always been fascinating to me.  I have always had a desire to tinker and build projects. Combining these two passions fitted perfectly into my degree.

My summer internship at Flock Mobility has given me a number of opportunities such as creating software for sustainable mobility and getting an insight into the work culture of a start-up.
