Student stories

Once I visited Surrey’s campus and found out all the great opportunities the University offered, I was set on my choice for higher education. I can happily say that I 100 per cent made the right choice...

I would definitely recommend a placement year to anyone in a position to take one!... I have no doubt that my placement year was key to me securing my graduate role with a top employer as I was able to evidence a range of skills and experience that I developed over the year.

Surrey will provide you with a first-class quality of education as well as support of advanced academic facilities.... Your career will start as soon as you make your first step onto the University of Surrey’s campus!

I have already secured a job as a social scientist at Forest Research. It’s a great role where I can apply lots of what I've learnt from my studies to real research.

My time with Balfour Beatty sparked my ambition to become a Chartered Engineer starting in Ground Engineering, and to pursue my plan of becoming a leader in the construction industry.

The course gives you a toolkit that you can access at any time, and makes sure this toolkit is full of as many different techniques and colours so you can feel confident in your own ability when performing.

Studying here at Surrey has definitely broadened my horizons and also widened my networks, which is the one thing that people in the hospitality field need the most!

If you have the means to study a masters, do it. Honestly, it shapes you as a person, changes the way you think, and helps you figure out things. You will also get the chance to meet amazing people.
