The Surrey experience

You can expect the time of your life at Surrey, with great food, lively bars, sports, shop, library, learning centres and well-being hubs set among lakes and rolling parkland. Bustling Guildford is just steps away, there’s great natural beauty all around, and London is half an hour by train. You will be on top of the world.

I and my colleagues are determined to deliver a welcoming, inclusive university community, made up of students from all corners of the world, keen to engage in the enjoyment and challenge of high-quality learning. Professor Amelia Hadfield, Dean International, Head of Department of Politics, Founder and Former Co-Director of the Centre for Britain and Europe (CBE)
