Student Freya Music BMus (Hons) I really appreciate how there are always opportunities outside of my course to develop my musical abilities, whether this is through competitions, clubs or other creative projects.
Student Theo Music BMus (Hons) The course is extremely engaging and has challenged me to explore a wide range of topics beyond my comfort zone in music. One thing that I really value about the course is the close working relationship that we develop with our academic staff in the department.
Student Frey Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) I chose Surrey because when I was in the process of looking at other universities, Surrey stood head and shoulders above the rest, as the course seemed much more interesting and it honestly felt like I was going to come out of doing the degree with a wider range of skills and knowledge. The facilities like the library, synth labs and Mac labs are all top tier for their equipment and spaces that can be used for studying.
Student Henry Film Production and Broadcasting Engineering BSc (Hons) Over the summer, I had the privilege of working at Samlon Recordings in Johannesburg, South Africa. This experience not only deepened my technical knowledge but also exposed me to new cultural perspectives and professional practices in a global setting.
Student Dan Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BEng (Hons) The course is unique in its combination of the creative and technical sides of film and broadcast and there is such variety in module content: from filming, editing and programme development, to coding and technical essays.
Student Lucy Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BEng (Hons) I’ve always had a passion for film and TV and it wasn’t until I discovered this course that I found out about the possibility of working on the more engineering/technical side of industry, which really appealed to me.
Irene Munoz Lopez Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BEng (Hons) My main role as a creative producer was to create 25 or 30 second trailers for National Geographic shows. It was an amazing opportunity; as part of my role I had a lot of creative freedom and had to come up with concepts, pitch them to the managers, and then edit and write the script for the promos.
Graduate Kendrick Foo Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BEng (Hons) My heavy involvement with StagTV to put course material into practice as well as my placement year at Dolby made it easy to choose my current career path.
Student Nas Anderson Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) I’m passionate about the Creative Music Technology course because it’s so unique. It has taught me to think outside the box and has challenged me to compose within genres of music I didn’t even know about three years ago".
