  • A global leader in higher education, a destination of choice for higher learning in the UK and internationally, with outstanding employment outcomes. 

  • A leading research and innovation institution with talented staff, students and postgraduate researchers committed to research excellence and to benefitting the economy, society, and the environment.

Ambition and strategic goals

Our ambition is to become a leading global university performing impactful research and innovation.

"The University published its corporate strategy, The Surrey Advantage, in late 2017, which include strategic priorities in research, and in impact and innovation. Over a year on, the present strategy reinforces and updates the corporate strategy, and expands upon its themes, goals and targets – also linking to the GlobalEducationHuman Resources and Advancement strategies.

Here, for the first time, we bring together the Research Strategy and Innovation Strategy into an integrated framework, recognising that one flows seamlessly from the other, and by innovation, we imply broadly all societal benefit that accrues from our research – not only its monetisation, as important as that is.

Details on the facilities, who to contact and how to access them are available below, with full details on the lab wiki (Facilities; Access; Training; useful links and documents for use)
