Student stories

I'm currently a vet for the UK’s largest veterinary charity, the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA). I love working in the charity sector because we get to make a real difference for animals and people.

The best thing about the course was how relevant and applicable it was to real life scenarios and how the theory had an impact on current events.

An Economics and Mathematics degree is gold dust on the job market!

Since graduating from Surrey I have worked in sea turtle rescue, hands-on marine mammal care, ocean conservation and biology education... We need passionate people in these fields, now more than ever!

My heavy involvement with StagTV to put course material into practice as well as my placement year at Dolby made it easy to choose my current career path.

I value the high level of knowledge I was able to acquire, and the warm, positive overall experience from my time here. It was a great combination of having fun and studying.

After returning from placement for my final year and getting to select more clinical modules, I knew that I wanted to have a career in exercise physiology.

When I got to my final year out on placement, I realised how enormously advantageous Surrey’s emphasis on practical day-one skills is.

My foundation year was so exciting and enjoyable. The workload was manageable, and it helped me massively to start living and studying independently.
