Our biosciences, chemistry and nursing programmes are all ranked highly in the UK (2009 Guardian university league tables). A key feature is the provision of professional or industrial placements on the majority of our courses. Our graduates have a real understanding of the world of work and, for the last 10 years, the University of Surrey has the best graduate employment record of any UK university.

At postgraduate level, we offer a wide range of taught courses, including Diplomas, Masters and CPD programmes. These are for recent graduates, health and medical practitioners and industrialists looking to enhance their skills in specialist areas. The Faculty carries out world class research, and in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise 60% of research in the allied health professions was recognised as internationally excellent. Programmes are available leading to the award of either a PhD or an MD at the Graduate School.

We offer an outstanding and stimulating study and research environment with continuous investment in buildings and infrastructure that offers state of the art facilities, all of which is based on an attractive, green campus close to the centre of Guildford.

Whether you are here to study for a first or higher degree or are a short-term visitor, I wish you every success in your time here and warmly welcome you to our Faculty.
