Student stories

Our professors were incredibly supportive throughout the year, and the university offers personalised career guidance, learning and development platforms, and well-being services, all of which were valuable in supporting me during my studies and job search.

At Surrey, it really feels like you have access to all the tools you need to do well, and you are provided with so many interesting opportunities and experiences.

The University is passionate about helping me develop my skills and pursue my dream career, as evidenced by the Games and Innovation Nexus, the many networking events that have been held, and the industry expert guest speakers.

I chose Surrey not only for its lovely campus, but because the course offers so much variety, which gives me the opportunity to discover what I would like to do with my career in nutrition.

Professional Training Placement played a crucial part in informing my career plans by providing me with opportunities to experience various engineering disciplines prior to graduation.

A foundation year will help you transition to studying away from home while strengthening your knowledge and preparing you for your first year.

I completed my Professional Training placement at Performance Communications in Kingston and it was one of the best experiences I've had during my time at university ... From working on real campaigns to attending client meetings and managing deadlines, it was such a valuable experience. I gained confidence in my skills and really grew as a person.

The best thing about my course is the opportunity to apply and transfer the theoretical background of what we learn in our lectures to the laboratory every week. The skills we learn in the laboratory alone are incredibly useful as we learn not only skills for chemistry, but also professional development skills like teamwork, data analysis and more.
