What our students say

Oliver Cory

Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year BEng (Hons)

Lab sessions are the highlight of the course for me. Being able to apply the skills and knowledge I’ve gained to something tangible is extremely satisfying. I spend time calculating, designing and deliberating – and it’s the most rewarding of feelings when it all works out.

Polya Yaneva

Computing and Information Technology BSc (Hons)

All Surrey students are given the chance to study a language alongside their course. It’s a great additional offering and I’m thankful to the University for providing me with it.
