Student stories

I enjoyed the course and practising so much, I just knew I didn’t want that to end after I qualified... I am now an Advanced CBT Therapist and I love the diversity of my role.

One of the great things about GSA is the fact that it's connected to the University of Surrey. This meant that not only did I feel a part of the small community that is the Guilford School of Acting, but I also felt like I was a part of the larger University of Surrey community having access to all the wider University has to offer.

I joined Surrey’s boat club with the initial intention of getting fit and exploring a new sport – not realising that it would lead me to become part of a tight-knit family, creating wonderful memories and forming lifelong friendships.

With a focus on practical learning, expert teaching staff and a supportive environment, this course offers an ideal platform to become a skilled and compassionate healthcare educator.

Each module brings a new way of thinking about the learning environment and highlights the need for cooperation, co-ownership and energy in the classroom for active learning to take place.

Studying at Surrey opened my eyes to various areas of the water and environmental profession. There are so many things that can be discovered and developed in this multidisciplinary field, and the outcomes are so meaningful as they benefit the environment and public health.

I am the Co-owner and Executive Producer at Firefly Creations and we specialise in the design of attractions for theme parks, resorts and other destinations. It has always been a goal of mine to work in this industry and the course at Surrey gave me a great grounding both technically and commercially.

At Surrey, I opened myself up to new opportunities and experiences which translated into the job I have today.

The computer science community at Surrey is filled with brilliant people at the top of their field, but I felt very comfortable approaching any one of my lecturers with concerns and requests for help.
