Graduate Ruth Carlson Civil Engineering MEng I was part of the Surrey/ICE Scholarship scheme. This meant that at the time of joining Mott MacDonald as a graduate civil engineer, I’d already had 16 months of experience there. Without that scheme and the links Surrey has with industry, I don’t think I’d be sitting in this job today!
Graduate Cameron Huggins Biomedical Engineering MEng Surrey promoted Abbott to me when I was looking for a Professional Training placement. I’m now working there, so it’s given me a great opportunity for my graduate career and beyond!

Graduate Anand Sahota Mathematics BSc (Hons) Surrey helped my career by having the Professional Training placement experience on my CV. It was such a game-changer in interviews. Other candidates would reference university projects or modules, while I’d use real-world examples working on real projects. My placement helped me get ahead of the competition.
Graduate Rosie Sparrow English Literature BA (Hons) The modules themselves were so interesting with a unique range of texts, which I may never have discovered on my own".

Graduate Laura Garside Business Management BSc (Hons) Surrey was the only university I could see myself at. I nearly didn't apply, but after visiting the campus I was sure that I wanted to study at Surrey.
Student Elliot Cheetham Physics MPhys A highlight of the placement has been getting the chance to become part of a scientific community and contribute to active research.
Student Yasmin Robertson Modern Languages (French and Spanish) I wanted to come to Surrey because it was one of the only universities in the UK to focus on language learning for more “practical” situations.
