Student stories

The set-up for distance learners is second-to-none at Surrey. It’s very interactive, accessible, and I have felt very much part of the class.

I was drawn to Surrey due to the reputation of the university and the Business School, as well as the stunning campus.

Shaun Webb, who completed his MSc in Information Security at Surrey in 2019, is a Senior Cybersecurity Architect at global software company Citrix, and has won numerous awards for his work, which has included creating an automated source code analyser which ensures that sensitive data is kept out of source code.

Marie Enfrin studied for a PhD in Chemical and Process Engineering jointly with the University of Surrey and Deakin University in Australia, researching how microplastics lead to pollution. She’s now working as a postdoctoral research fellow at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Australia.

I’ve just started my first sister position in an Accident and Emergency department, something I never would have dreamed of achieving just two years after qualifying.

I'm now a small animal vet and it feels great to finally be independent and in charge of my own cases. I love my job, the practice and the people I work with!

I’m a matron at Langley Green Hospital and I’m proud to make a positive difference for my service users, challenging the stigma around mental health.

Aneeb Chaudhry, who graduated from Surrey’s MEng Chemical Engineering in 2017, is a Process Engineer at Brenntag UK Ireland Ltd and was recently named winner of the Chemical Business Association (CBA)’s Young Person Award in recognition of his exceptional contributions within the company.

I started to consider a career as a doctor and worked as a healthcare assistant at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. This experience, alongside what I learnt on my course, confirmed that medicine was the perfect career for me.
