Graduate Rinalds Gerinovics Business Economics BSc (Hons) I found sessions organised by the School with different potential employers important when they came for an on campus visit ahead of the career’s day. These sessions were filled with insights from many different industries that helped me decide on the way forward.
Student Ewan Taylor Economics and Finance BSc (Hons) The excellent placement support and Surrey’s proximity to London made it one of my top choices. I chose Surrey as my number one option due to the opportunity to study Economics and Finance rather than pure Economics.
Graduate Morgan Rooney Economics BSc (Hons) One benefit of the economics programme is that all first year modules are uniform across a few different degrees. This means if you’re not sure whether you want to do pure economics, or maybe add in some finance or business, you have time to decide and switch later. This is something I know a lot of people took advantage of.
Student Thomas Hithersay Economics BSc (Hons) The amount of support that the employability team, professors, lecturers, and university staff provide the students here is amazing. I believe that Surrey is very “career-focused” and, as such, sees many of its students establish the foundations of successful careers here.
Graduate Stewart Cooper Business Economics BSc (Hons) The best thing about the course was how relevant and applicable it was to real life scenarios and how the theory had an impact on current events.
Graduate Nick Green Economics and Mathematics BSc (Hons) An Economics and Mathematics degree is gold dust on the job market!
Student Tilemachos Efthyvoulou Economics BSc (Hons) I would absolutely recommend a placement year to anyone. It’s a great opportunity to see what kind of work environment you like to work in, understand a specific sector or industry, and significantly improve your employment prospects.
Student Syed Arez Economics and Finance BSc (Hons) My favourite moment at Surrey so far is meeting such amazing people who will be my life-long friends. Having people who are very like-minded and as ambitious as you are about your degree allows you to work harder and do well.
Student Stefano Cellini Economics PhD As soon as I decided to apply and began to talk with possible supervisors, I understood that faculty members and PhD students thrive in such a stimulating environment.
