Student Irene Munoz Lopez Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BEng (Hons) My main role as a creative producer was to create 25 or 30 second trailers for National Geographic shows. It was an amazing opportunity; as part of my role I had a lot of creative freedom and had to come up with concepts, pitch them to the managers, and then edit and write the script for the promos.

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".
Student Natasha Blakemore Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) BSc (Hons) I spent my placement at Sky Production Services as a Trainee Dubbing Mixer.
