What our students say

Chinelo Benedine Ndunaka

Process Systems Engineering MSc

There’s a big international student presence at Surrey which has given me an appreciation for different cultures. I have met some amazing people and made friends for life.

Tuntika Lertaneksin

Renewable Energy Systems Engineering MSc

I really enjoyed learning about the different types of renewable energy such as wind and solar. One of the best things was the real world focus: we had some excellent guest speakers from industry and got the chance to see a solar plant during the Solar Energy Technology module.
