2026Why did you choose to study your course at Surrey?
I completed my undergraduate studies at Surrey and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. When I decided that I wanted to do a Masters degree, I could not think of anywhere else I would rather do it. The faculty and support staff are excellent and make you feel at home.
What are the best things about Surrey and your course?
The module options were perfect, as they helped you really focus on what you want to do for your future career and catered to how you want to move forward after your studies. The module leaders are very helpful in explaining anything you do not understand, which makes the course much more manageable.
What are the best things about life here as a postgraduate student?
I am part of the hockey society, and it really helps me disconnect from the stress of my degree. The people I have met on my course are great, and they truly make my university experience that much better, whether that is by helping me with anything I do not understand or just getting a drink.
What are your career plans?
After I earn my degree, I aspire to enter either the corporate or private banking sector.
What advice do you have for students thinking of doing this course?
DO IT. It helps you specialise your knowledge more than you can imagine and it teaches you the complex theory but also the real world applications that you would not get from a corporate job.
