Student stories

Surrey was my absolute dream choice of University. I only had one back up option but I had my heart set on coming here; the campus is beautiful but the Creative Music Technology course was what really drew me in. It had the right balance of teaching hours versus time to hone our practice, as well as lots of module options that really gave me the flexibility to explore everything I was interested in.

Kathleen, who graduated with a Masters in Music in 1995, has enjoyed more than three decades of music-making in six countries, working with orchestras, choirs, ballet, opera and musical theatre, including performances at the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. She was awarded a Vice-Chancellor’s Alumni Achievement Award for 2016.
