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.

We give students an opportunity to find the entrepreneur within and give them the confidence and resources to set up something for themselves.
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.
A paid placement for three Surrey students, Surrey Enterprise allows you the chance to run your own business during your Professional Placement year.

A retail incubator space where students can test out their business ideas in a real retail environment, Studio is run by Surrey Enterprise.

Few universities can match our ability for enterprise. Whether it’s supporting our students and academics as they seek to turn their ideas into successful business propositions, working with industry to share our expertise for everyone’s benefit, or creating our own ‘spin-out’ companies to get the results of our world-class research out into the world, our naturally entrepreneurial culture has achieved success after success.
