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.

Our campus is a self-contained community where you can make the most of student life. With social and leisure facilities, cafes and restaurants, coffee bars and common rooms, you'll find everything you need.
The Students’ Union organises an exciting programme of activities, events and experiences for you to try - from creative workshops to trips abroad. Join a student society and you’ll have the opportunity to meet new people and try something different.
The University campus, the town and the surrounding area provide a safe and pleasant place to live.
A frequent bus service linking campus with the town centre runs late into the night, and the local area is cycle-friendly too. The campus and Courts of Residence are patrolled by our friendly security team, whose on-site office is always open to visitors and staffed for phone calls.
Just ten minutes’ walk from campus, Guildford is an exciting mixture of historical, cultural and modern delights. Whilst it offers all the convenience of a modern town, you’ll also feel as safe and included as in any village.
In our curriculum and out-of-class activities we give you exciting opportunities to develop the enterprising spirit we know employers value and that will help if you ever want to start your own business.
There’s a diverse range of classes on offer, including painting and drawing, pottery, dance (everything from ballet to break-dancing) and music ensembles (including choir, orchestra and big band).
Arts at Surrey encompasses a mix of music, literature, dance, film, performance and visual art. We offer a range of classes, Students’ Union societies, performance, events, academic research and workshops — available to arts and non-arts students. With so much happening, you won’t need to leave campus to sample a bit of culture.
Sport is a defining part of many students' university experience, whether for fun, fitness or fierce competition.
We have a bold vision for sport at Surrey, and the University is becoming a centre for world-class sporting activity. Surrey Sports Park has set a new benchmark for the quality of university sports facilities in the UK and beyond.
There has never been a better time to get involved in sport at the University of Surrey, and we want you to be a part of it.
As a new student, arriving in a different country, perhaps for the first time, can be a daunting prospect. At Surrey we are pleased to offer a 'Meet and Greet' service at key designated points in the year, where friendly staff and students will welcome you at Heathrow or Gatwick airport.
At Heathrow we will transport you and your luggage back to campus via our coach service, and from Gatwick we will get you to the right train and you will be met at Guildford station and assisted back to campus.
