Student Freya Music BMus (Hons) I really appreciate how there are always opportunities outside of my course to develop my musical abilities, whether this is through competitions, clubs or other creative projects.
Student Theo Music BMus (Hons) The course is extremely engaging and has challenged me to explore a wide range of topics beyond my comfort zone in music. One thing that I really value about the course is the close working relationship that we develop with our academic staff in the department.
Student Frey Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) I chose Surrey because when I was in the process of looking at other universities, Surrey stood head and shoulders above the rest, as the course seemed much more interesting and it honestly felt like I was going to come out of doing the degree with a wider range of skills and knowledge. The facilities like the library, synth labs and Mac labs are all top tier for their equipment and spaces that can be used for studying.
Student Seth Music MMus The best thing about my course is the number of opportunities given to collaborate with others, whether that be through societies or setting up ensembles and duos. People are always willing to make music together, which is perfect when you want to expand your knowledge.
Graduate Yixuan Music MMus One of the best things is the people. I was studying abroad for the first time when I was at Surrey; I was very shy, but my teachers and classmates were very lovely and patient.
Student Ali Afshari Music PhD I ultimately chose the University of Surrey due to its unique strengths and offerings that align seamlessly with the requirements of my research: specialised expertise, interdisciplinary environment, and PATS facilities make it the ideal institution.
Student Nas Anderson Creative Music Technology BMus (Hons) I’m passionate about the Creative Music Technology course because it’s so unique. It has taught me to think outside the box and has challenged me to compose within genres of music I didn’t even know about three years ago".
Student Tsz Wun (Michelle) Wong Music BMus (Hons) What appealed to me most about Surrey was the tranquil environment on campus. I was born and bred in Hong Kong, where you can’t escape the hustle and bustle, and unstable political environment. The only thing I wanted to focus on were my passions - music, singing and always exploring.
Student Seth Lyons Music BMus (Hons) At Surrey, I love the flexibility and eclecticism of the modules - you can choose whether you want to take a more academic or practical path (or have an equal split). I’m also very grateful for the opportunities we’re offered (free concerts; performance opportunities; visiting lecturers; etc.) and the lovely friends I have made through the course".
