Student stories

At Surrey, I love the flexibility and eclecticism of the modules - you can choose whether you want to take a more academic or practical path (or have an equal split). I’m also very grateful for the opportunities we’re offered (free concerts; performance opportunities; visiting lecturers; etc.) and the lovely friends I have made through the course". 

I'm so glad I did a foundation year. Being taught the same concepts but in a different way to sixth form was revolutionary to me and allowed me to excel in fields I had previously not performed very well in.

I wanted to take advantage of the fact the University offers a placement year to you; to get out there, get some experience and make a name for myself.”

My placement was an inspiring, unforgettable experience which has made me want to push myself as much as possible during my studies, after seeing how important work in psychology can be.

All my clinical placements were very insightful: you get a true understanding of how maternity services work and how they connect to other departments.

As soon as I arrived at Surrey, I knew I had made the right choice: it was very quickly my home away from home.
