Student stories

I wanted to take advantage of the fact the University offers a placement year to you; to get out there, get some experience and make a name for myself.”

The university’s outstanding record for graduate employability, perfect balance of rural and city life, and proximity to London were all factors that contributed to my decision to make Surrey a top choice.   

I had the chance to apply to this brilliant university that was right on my doorstep, and it would have been unforgivable not to snatch up the opportunity, which is why Surrey was my first choice!

Surrey has high student satisfaction and a great School of Law. For an aspiring lawyer this was a great mix, as I knew I'd be in an environment where I could flourish academically but also be emotionally supported. At Surrey I believed I would find this - and I have! 

My lecturers completely love what they do; they don’t just want to teach you, but give you their ‘all’ in the subject.

Doing a Professional Training placement is the best decision I have made since coming to university; the value of the knowledge it gives you is unprecedented. I could not recommend it more.
