Ruth Carlson
"I was part of the Surrey ICE Scholarship scheme. This meant that at the time of joining Mott MacDonald as a graduate civil engineer, I’d already had 16 months of experience there. Without that scheme and the links Surrey has with industry, I don’t think I’d be sitting in this job today!"
Anna Toms
"One of the main reasons I chose to study at Surrey was the Surrey/ICE Scholarship scheme.... I thought this was a great opportunity to get first-hand experience with a company early on in my degree, which I didn’t see being offered by other universities."
Abigail Vine
"As well as enabling me to gain a vast amount of technical knowledge, my placement also gave me a valuable insight into the way the construction industry operates."
