Discover the University of Surrey

We have some of the best new academic, library, sports, arts and accommodation facilities of any university in the UK, as well as one of the most envied Professional Training placement programmes in the world. This combination of prestige, expertise, resources and lifestyle is unique, and it’s all to be found here in the beautiful countryside of the Surrey Hills just half an hour from central London.

At Surrey you can learn a foreign language completely free of charge in our brand-new language-learning facilities. The range includes many European languages as well as Japanese, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese.

Accessibility and the Library

All of the University Library’s five floors are accessible by a main lift and further lifts at the east end of the building. Additional ramps and a platform lift enable access between levels on some floors. Accessible toilet facilities are available for users with mobility difficulties.

Longer loans on books and journals are possible through the Assist Card service, and for students with mobility difficulties, a ‘fetch and collect’ service is available. Extended loans on books are available from ALS.
