Here at Surrey, we acknowledge the education benefits that flow from a diverse student body and recognise the need to increase and widen participation in higher education.  We want the most able students from any background to be able to access and enjoy the best possible student experience and to benefit from graduate employment.

We also believe it is part of our social responsibility to raise aspirations and improve attainment among potential students to sustain the industrial, commercial and professional life of the country for the UK’s future prosperity.

We aim to raise young people's aspirations to study in higher education. We help them to understand what life and study is like at university and to build their awareness about career options, selecting and applying to universities and how to cope once they arrive. Current activities also include further subject-specific sessions designed to help raise attainment.
