Student stories

My summer internship at Flock Mobility has given me a number of opportunities such as creating software for sustainable mobility and getting an insight into the work culture of a start-up.

I feel empowered by my time at Surrey and feel able to thrive in a challenging but incredibly rewarding field.

I am thankful to Surrey in more ways than I can express. There are opportunities everywhere: be vigilant and be ready to face challenges.

I knew Surrey would be a good place to do a PhD as the Institute for Communication Systems is a world-leading research centre with an outstanding reputation.

Having an experienced supervisor in my research area has been invaluable to me throughout my PhD journey... their unwavering support and encouragement have significantly boosted my self-confidence, especially in times when I needed it the most.

I’ve had so many amazing experiences... winning the Autumn Star Employability Award 2022 has been one of my greatest moments and made me recognise how far I’ve come.

The University embraces and adapts to new technologies and that impressed me.
