Student stories

The lack of available mental health services makes me want to be the change and generate more support to provide the best care for people who desperately need it.

Some of our lectures are delivered by external guest lecturers, many of whom work at Surrey Research Park, which is great as we can see how the content we’re learning about is being applied in the field.

I chose Surrey because of the modules that were offered, which focused on microbiology from year 1. I’m more than happy with the choice I made!

If you have the opportunity to do a placement, go for it. You will learn so much about yourself, the field you are in and what career opportunities are out there.

I ultimately chose the University of Surrey due to its unique strengths and offerings that align seamlessly with the requirements of my research: specialised expertise, interdisciplinary environment, and PATS facilities make it the ideal institution.
