Student profile

Eden M.

"The campus itself is gorgeous. Spending time with friends at the lake is an amazing way to relax after a day in the lab."

What do you like about your course and why?

The pure Chemistry degree programme is a key to many doors, both in academia and industry. The amount of time spent developing your practical skills in the undergraduate teaching labs is unmatched in any other bachelor’s degree, and this is a huge benefit to your career.

What do you enjoy most about Surrey?

The campus itself is gorgeous. Spending time with friends at the lake is an amazing way to relax after a day in the lab.

Did you do a placement year?

Unfortunately I was unable to find a placement during my second year, and instead carried on with the degree in my third year. I hope to act as an example that you can still succeed, even if you don’t end up on the path you had planned.

What do you want to do when you graduate?

"I have been offered a place in the Maths and Physics department at Surrey to carry on my academic career at the Surrey Space Centre! I am delighted to carry on my career at a University that I know and love, and expand my knowledge into such an interesting sector."
