Student stories

Lab sessions are the highlight of the course for me. Being able to apply the skills and knowledge I’ve gained to something tangible is extremely satisfying. I spend time calculating, designing and deliberating – and it’s the most rewarding of feelings when it all works out.

My supervisor’s been very accommodating, giving me guidance using online chatting tools and being available for virtual calls to replace face-to-face meetings.

The University’s been sending us regular bulletin emails and it’s been good to have these communications as a single source for important updates.

The support offered by the University of Surrey to me as a Clearing student was brilliant.

For me, the most enjoyable parts of the course are the lab experiments and projects. Whether it’s an individual or group project, the satisfaction of putting things together and building something that works – from scratch – is a unique feeling.

Being a campus university, Surrey feels like a community, which definitely helps when you are starting out as a Fresher.

After visiting the University on an open day I was sold; I loved everything about it.

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Surrey is a home away from home. There’s a low student:staff ratio and the lecturers support you to the very best of their ability.

Choosing to study here was a life-changing decision.
