Student stories

My supervisors are extremely helpful and approachable. They’re always there when I have concerns and have supported my research project throughout, with their expertise and critiques.

I have always wanted to pursue an academic career, since my time as an undergraduate student back in Brazil. The School of Law at the University of Surrey excels in the field of legal philosophy and the Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy is one of the largest and most active research groups in its field.

My favourite moments were the unplanned ones, the ones where we just stayed in or had dinners, took a break from work, where we discussed our plans for the future and encouraged each other, knowing those were big dreams, but looking forward to turning them into reality.

I have learnt that if you take advantage of everything that is offered to you – and Surrey has a lot to offer – you really can achieve things you never believed you were capable of.

The Law LLB course at Surrey is outstanding. You’re guided by experienced lecturers and tutors, many of whom have some form of legal practice or extensive academic backgrounds.

The academic staff from the School of Law are excellent. The teaching staff consists of high-level academics and professionals, meaning a number of my modules have been taught by barristers and solicitors.

I have been able to tailor my degree to my own interests and future career.
