Student experiences
Hear from Vanessa Burton, who was accepted onto the scheme that kickstarted her journey from civil engineering undergraduate at Surrey to Assistant Geotechnical Engineer at Mott MacDonald.
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."
