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.

Pre-entry days take place in mid-September and are designed to help with the transition to higher education.
Each event covers some of the key issues around studying and living at university, including how higher education differs from school or college, what is expected of you as a first-year student, and how to manage your finances.
There is the opportunity to take a tour of the campus, and Student Ambassadors are on hand to provide an insight into what life at Surrey is really like.
There's so much going on in your first few days at Surrey, you might want to get ahead of the game. Here are the most essential things to do and think about before you arrive. And here's what you should bring with you.

Most students on our Professional Training placement programme are paid a salary by their employers, which is a valuable source of income during their time at Surrey. For those who are on an unpaid placement, we have a fund to ensure they receive some financial support during their placement year.
