Student stories

To study at one of the top drama schools in the country whilst simultaneously being part of a university seemed like a dream, and lo and behold, it was. You get to spend your days in the warm and friendly bubble that is GSA, and then go out and enjoy all the amenities and communities that are available to you on campus. It truly is the best of both worlds.

Taking part in the placement module can offer valuable insights into your career and future prospects. It allows you to gain hands-on experience by working for a company and truly understanding what it's like.

My favourite part of the course is the time spent in the teaching labs. When you are in the lab, you get your hands “dirty” and apply everything you have been taught in lectures and learn through experience. Nothing compares to the joy you feel when something you have been working on very hard, finally comes to life!

I'm passionate about my course because it has the power to drive positive change and transform the world in meaningful ways. It's not just a field of study, it's a lifelong journey of exploration and discovery.

Overall, my experience at Surrey has been incredibly rewarding, and I am grateful for the opportunities for personal and academic growth it has provided me with as a Criminology and Sociology student.
