Student stories

I chose the University of Surrey not just for my course’s league table position, but after visiting the campus and seeing the facilities. That made the difference in making Surrey my first choice.

My journey to the University of Surrey started when I was still a masters student. I was studying at São Paulo State University in the Chemistry Institute of Araraquara, Brazil, when I had the opportunity to spend 10 weeks conducting experiments in Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute.

The support offered by the University of Surrey to me as a Clearing student was brilliant.

The academic staff include some of the leading figures in mobile communications who are known all over the world.

For me, the most enjoyable parts of the course are the lab experiments and projects. Whether it’s an individual or group project, the satisfaction of putting things together and building something that works – from scratch – is a unique feeling.

Being a campus university, Surrey feels like a community, which definitely helps when you are starting out as a Fresher.
