Student stories

Studying English Literature alongside French has offered me an opportunity to explore a rich palette of texts and insights into literary and historical periods, such as Romanticism and the Middle Ages, that I had not encountered in depth prior to my degree course

The lecturers and academic staff are always so supportive of students and are willing to help you in any way they can.

The University embraces and adapts to new technologies and that impressed me.

At Surrey you really feel like you’re part of the University and you can get involved with every aspect of student life.

The academic staff go out of their way to deliver to students. They are always open to students getting in touch, whether online or in person, and will point you in the right direction.

Studying at Surrey has shown me a lot about the world of work and taught me to live in the present. If I had to describe my time at university in three words, they'd be humbling, life-changing and inspiring."
