Our Professional Training placement programme is admired by other universities around the world.
Over 1,000 partner organisations work with us to provide students from all parts of the University with vital experience of the professional environment. What makes our Professional Training placements so good? They’re built into your degree programme, not bolted onto it.
Our campus hosts major national facilities such as the Ion beam Centre, which academics from other universities come here to use. These facilities allow our Award-winning researchers to change the world in important fields such as safe water, sustainable energy, communication, disease control and health.
£12m Ivy Arts Centre and Guildford School of Acting; £36m Surrey Sports Park, host to 15 teams; £35m 5G Research Centre for the next generation of mobile communications; £47m School of Veterinary Science; £70m Manor Park student village; £13m new Library & Learning Centre.
There's no better way to get a feel for the University and student life than by visiting us at one of our Open Days.
Our next Open Days take place on:
Five graduates from our Sound Recording (Tonmeister) degree programme worked on the latest James Bond film Skyfall.
The best part of my Erasmus year was meeting new people and learning French.
The Library & Learning Centre is the academic heart of the University, which also includes the AppleSeed bookshop and a popular ground-floor meeting area.
Here you’ll find a vast collection of books and journals plus you can access the electronic collection of books and journals on or off campus. There are silent areas for individual study, communal learning zones for group work, and bookable rooms.
The Library is open daily, staying open 24 hours a day during semester and for long opening hours during vacations and outside semester weeks. We have an academic librarian for each subject area who will introduce you to the Library and help you to find and use the information resources for your academic needs.
There are nearly 4,000 international students studying at Surrey from over 140 countries worldwide.
My experience on placement has been invaluable and given me so much confidence. I have developed practical skills that allow me to add value to my organisation and I have established excellent networks to support my future.
We encourage applications from everyone with the ability to study for a Surrey degree, and understand that finance is a factor that affects most people’s decisions. We are committed to making sure that we offer support for students who might need it.
Our bursaries and scholarships are among the most competitive in the country, with both merit-based and means-tested awards available.
