Graduate Alex Bronsdon Spanish with German BA (Hons) I spent four months in Spain and six months in Germany and the opportunity to use my language in both those countries was something I thought would be really valuable to improve my language skills.
Student Edwin Gilson English Literature PhD A real highlight for me was having an article published in a well-known journal in my field. This came out of a chapter I wasn’t expecting to write at the start of the thesis, on a novel I read during the PhD.
Graduate Patrick Swain Politics with Creative Writing BSc (Hons) The placement year was one of the reasons I came to Surrey because I could have that work experience.
Student Esther Nutrition and Dietetics BSc (Hons) With the rise of social media, there is a lot of misinformation shared which can be harmful to health. Dietitians pride themselves on giving evidence-based advice that is backed by science!
Student Katie Ayling Nutrition and Dietetics BSc (Hons) I've already completed a placement at a hospital in Ashford, Kent. I absolutely loved the experience and it really reassured me that being a dietitian is what I want to do.
Student Anika Scott Civil Engineering MEng There’s no typical day at Hewson: it’s a fast-paced work environment with new challenges each day, and I’ve worked on over 15 different projects since starting here.
Student Florence Andrews Media and Communication BSc (Hons) There are so many reasons why I love Surrey but I think the main one is that Surrey feels like a home away from home, everyone is so friendly and approachable and it is always so lively.
Student Natasha Blakemore Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) BSc (Hons) I spent my placement at Sky Production Services as a Trainee Dubbing Mixer. I did a lot of editing (dialogue, voiceover) as well as syncing and preparing projects for others in the department. The highlights were getting to mix two shows for Sky Kids and Sky Arts.
