International Relations
The University of Surrey is committed to being a world leading university. The international strategy aims to ensure that the global impact of Surrey's world class research, enterprise and teaching is fully realised.
The international strategy and associated activities are led by Professor Vincent Emery, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (International Relations).
