Student stories

In the third year, we undertook a real-time simulation event, where the Health Sciences building was turned into a hospital and ambulance receiving bay. The day was superbly run to make it as realistic as possible and it was a wonderful culmination of three years of study.

As a postgraduate student at Surrey, one of the best things about life here is the strong emphasis on personal and professional development. The university offers various career services, including workshops and networking events that are designed for postgraduate students and very useful to make connections in your field.

I am going on a Professional Training Year now as a Systems Design Engineer for MBDA, and I think that getting to work in industry for a year will help give me a better idea of what I want to do when I finish my degree. I’m really excited to start my placement and to get to experience what it’s like working as a Systems Design Engineer.
