Student stories

I feel very lucky to have had three fabulous supervisors that regularly checked up with me, but also made me feel trusted in my abilities. My supervisors have opened many doors for me

The School of Health Sciences helps students to become independent researchers and provides unique opportunities to contribute to healthcare systems and policy both locally and globally.

My aim is to complete my PhD and have at least one major publication in a high impact journal. My next step is to find a suitable post-doctoral position in the field and to continue pursuing a career in research, with the ultimate plan of securing a lectureship position in the future.

My supervisors have been absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t have gotten through to this stage of my PhD without them. They shared their expert knowledge, and given me brilliant pastoral care in the more challenging periods of my studies.

I decided to come to Surrey for my PhD because my project cuts across long-term conditions, maternal health and electronic health, and Surrey’s School of Health Sciences is at the fore-front of research in these areas.
