OfS student board member speaks on the impact of Higher Education

Civil Engineering student Ruth Carlson is having a whirlwind year. Currently on Professional Training placement at Mott MacDonald, she has also been appointed as the only student member on the Board and Student Panel of the Office for Students (OfS) – the new regulator set up by the Department of Education. At the OfS launch conference earlier this year, Ruth spoke about how Higher Education, and studying civil engineering at Surrey, has transformed her life and opened up many opportunities.
