Student Tiffany Biles Physics with Quantum Technologies BSc (Hons) Life as a student is very different to working 9-5 and I’ve appreciated the challenge of this change so far. I’ve learned to prioritise a work-life balance and value my free time, and it’s allowed me to differentiate between mindsets and strengthen my wellbeing.
Graduate Constantine Pelesis Medical Physics MSc A summer placement at Adaptix, manufacturer of innovative 3D x-ray imaging devices, was a great opportunity to develop hard and soft skills for Constantine Pelesis, who is now a clinical technologist in Singleton Hospital’s Nuclear Medicine Department.
Student Elliot Cheetham Physics MPhys A highlight of the placement has been getting the chance to become part of a scientific community and contribute to active research.
Student Rhiann Canavan Physics PhD One of the highlights of my PhD has been the eight-week placement I'm currently spending at Crossfield Fusion as part of the GRADnet programme.
Student James Willsmore Medical Physics MSc The Braithwaite scholarship greatly eased the pressure and allowed me to focus less on the financial burden of the degree and more on enjoying what I came to Surrey to do: to further my knowledge of the subject area I wanted to make my career in.
Student Iain Lee The tutors are always happy to help if you have questions via email or after class, while students are encouraged to innovate and be creative during assessments and conduct research themselves under guidance.
Student Dimitar Mitev Mathematics and Physics MPhys The academics on my programme know how to spark interest in students – even in an early morning lecture.
Student Lester Buxton Quantum Biology PhD Working in an interdisciplinary field like quantum biology there is lots of opportunity for collaboration. Our centre has lots of interest and connections from academics from around the world.
Student Amna Khan The conversation was the quickest ever: “UCAS ID? Grades? Okay, you’re in!”. That was it, end of the story.
