Student stories

I joined Surrey’s boat club with the initial intention of getting fit and exploring a new sport – not realising that it would lead me to become part of a tight-knit family, creating wonderful memories and forming lifelong friendships.

Surrey helped me in two key ways – the breadth of topics on the course that gave me exposure to lots of different aspects of designing, building and operating spacecraft, and the top-quality teaching provided by the faculty.

Arhum Anjum spent a year at Lloyds Banking Group as part of his Data Science MSc at Surrey, which has led to a permanent role as a machine learning engineer with the company.

Alumni Yatin Vadhia, who studied for a computer science degree at Surrey, has gone on to pioneer innovative solutions in e-commerce, travel and FinTech, and is currently Senior Product Manager at TrueLayer - a financial infrastructure and Open Banking technology company in London.
