Student Max Fontaine-Anderson English Literature and French BA (Hons) Studying English Literature alongside French has offered me an opportunity to explore a rich palette of texts and insights into literary and historical periods, such as Romanticism and the Middle Ages, that I had not encountered in depth prior to my degree course
Graduate Ellis Taylor English Literature BA (Hons) The option to do a placement year was a huge draw for me as I felt it would be incredibly beneficial for kickstarting my career. I quickly got the impression that Surrey was a great place to gain experience and get the support you need to enter the world of work.
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 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.
Graduate Oluchi Nwabuwa Business Management with Entrepreneurship BSc (Hons) Surrey will always be home. It has made me to be a better woman who is forward-looking, adventurous, innovative and a positive contributor to our community.
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.
Student Rhyne Chambers Modern Languages, French and Spanish BA (Hons) I like the fact the Surrey allows you to have a 50/50 split between your two languages choices, as that was something other universities didn’t offer. I also like that students are given a choice of subject for written assignments.
Student Alice Brooks Modern Languages (French and Spanish) BA (Hons) We have access to a huge range of books and materials, computers with specialised software for language learners, and staff on hand during the weekdays to provide support. The classrooms also boast features to support listening practice.
Student Adam Gorry Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) I was attracted to some of the most unusual parts of music where there were no strict Western Classical limits, and experimentation was celebrated. This is where Surrey stood out from other universities – the possibilities felt so limitless
