Student stories

The support system here, from mentorship to research resources, is unparalleled, and it provides an ideal environment for me to thrive in my research and make meaningful contributions to the field.

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.

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.

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.
