Student Natália Gogolová Aerospace Engineering MEng The people and the history of this team are unique and what they’ve achieved as a small family business is incredible. I felt like a part of the team from the first day.
Student Elisavetha Sergeev Aerospace Engineering MEng I would absolutely recommend doing a Professional Training Year, not just to enhance technical skills and knowledge but to develop soft skills, which at times can be more important.
Graduate Yusuf Shauq Mechanical Engineering MEng My course helped me to choose what kind of sector I wanted to start a career in and it gave me the skills to be a strong candidate for those jobs.
Student Ahmed Afzal Aerospace Engineering MEng My placement year really helped me to grow as an engineer and become more confident in my ability to solve engineering problems in industry. I’ve also gained invaluable teamworking experience and greatly improved my communication and time management skills.
Graduate Elizabeth Opeagbe Financial Mathematics BSc (Hons) My degree wasn't easy. It taught me a work ethic that I retain now and one that allowed me to complete my part-time masters with such dedication. Not only did Surrey force me to grow up, as it was the first time I'd been independent, but it also offered me a solid foundation for the rest of my life.
Student Kirill Ralin Mechanical Engineering MEng I was responsible for the full design process of parts such as moulds, joints, brackets and mechanisms, which were then manufactured, tested and integrated into a range of boat models.
Student Anna Toms Civil Engineering MEng Being able to see how some of the calculations and engineering principles I’ve learned at university are applied in real life, and using software to do this, has been really interesting.
