Your intellectual edge
All postgraduate programmes should help you increase your knowledge of your subject, but you should demand more. At Surrey, developing your knowledge is just the beginning. We challenge you to go further, to improve your intellectual approach and sharpen your problem-solving capability. That’s because intellectual ability is about more than just knowledge.
Today's Minds shaping tomorrow
Intellectual ability is about critical appraisal of current understanding, including your own. It is about analysing problems, and being inventive enough to think differently about solving them. It is about creating innovative solutions by connecting your thinking and ideas with those of your predecessors and contemporaries.
