Student George N. Vision Speech and Signal Processing PhD Surrey’s Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) is the number one department in the UK for Computer Vision. There was no doubt in my mind that amazing research is done here at the university and that's something I wanted to be a part of.
Student Pearle Sport and Exercise Science BSc The support services provided by the University for my placement were amazing and made the entire process – from sending off my CV to arriving in Texas – so much easier. I received advice and guidance at every step, which really boosted my confidence."
Graduate Chelsea Psychology BSc Without my placement I would not be where I am today: almost five years on and I still work at Broadmoor Hospital. I am so glad I did a placement; it changed the course of my career for the better.
Student Jess Sociology BSc (Hons) My placement year helped me ultimately decide that I love the office environment and am passionate about sales and marketing. I feel confident that the skills I developed during my placement will assist me in getting a role in the future.
Student Beth Criminology and Sociology BSc (Hons) Studying Criminology and Sociology has provided me with lots of opportunities to apply my knowledge from lectures in real-life situations and assignments. I've received a huge amount of support from my lecturers who speak engagingly about the topics they teach.
Graduate Maria Biochemistry BSc My placement completely set me up for my early career. I began working in a laboratory with skills beyond the level I was being trained at in my new job, and it gave me a head-start to carry out my own research to a high standard."
Student Bethany Sociology BSc (Hons) I really enjoyed using my Professional Training placement to not only gain an insight into working within the charity sector, but also to actually give back to my community.
Graduate Maddii Sociology BSc (Hons) I really enjoyed the choice you get with Sociology with the modules and the area of interest you want to specialise in. This also helped me decide what area of work I wanted to go into after graduating.
Student Rayan Criminology BSc (Hons) I love how we get to explore so many aspects of the criminal world, not just the typical 'prisons' and how criminals are punished. The Criminology course goes well beyond that; it discusses the why and how for almost every aspect you can imagine, such as treatments, prevention and broader societal impacts.
