Student stories

I joined Surrey’s boat club with the initial intention of getting fit and exploring a new sport – not realising that it would lead me to become part of a tight-knit family, creating wonderful memories and forming lifelong friendships.

Alumni Yatin Vadhia, who studied for a computer science degree at Surrey, has gone on to pioneer innovative solutions in e-commerce, travel and FinTech, and is currently Senior Product Manager at TrueLayer - a financial infrastructure and Open Banking technology company in London.

I’ve decided to pursue a career in the industry after graduation and am going to join the Amazon Alexa team in London." 

The modules offered by the University have been very useful and relevant, the lecturers have always been knowledgeable and passionate about their subject, and the placement year has been instrumental in my future career. The University of Surrey has played a huge role in my current career success.
