Student stories

If you’re thinking about studying nursing, I couldn’t recommend the School of Health Sciences more highly. The teaching, the placements, the facilities and the sense of community all make for an experience that’s truly special.

Midwifery isn’t about being perfect – it’s about being present, being passionate and being willing to learn. If you’ve got that spark, follow it. This profession needs people like you.

The state-of-the-art simulation suites allowed me to practise and refine my skills in a realistic, supportive environment. Having access to such advanced facilities played a huge role in my development as a midwife, and it's one of the things that made my experience at Surrey so rewarding." 

My elective placement abroad in Bali, Indonesia was hands-down one of the best life experiences I've ever had! I was very fortunate that the University supported me in going and it was one of the best things about my course.

In the third year, we undertook a real-time simulation event, where the Health Sciences building was turned into a hospital and ambulance receiving bay. The day was superbly run to make it as realistic as possible and it was a wonderful culmination of three years of study.

The support given by faculty and the mentorship provided throughout the course have significantly impacted my learning journey: they've enhanced my academic experience and given me confidence in my clinical skills.

The lack of available mental health services makes me want to be the change and generate more support to provide the best care for people who desperately need it.

Doing a foundation year has been so beneficial. I have gone into the first year of my Adult Nursing BSc with so much knowledge, a newfound confidence and the ability to support other students in my cohort.

The staff and tutors at Surrey have been extremely supportive throughout my training. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student and my confidence in my abilities has grown.
