Student stories

This course really helped me to understand how creative I am as a person. My job is very creative now and I would not have recognised maybe how important that is to me without studying this degree.

I currently work as a Hydrological Data Scientist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH), and my MSc in Water and Environmental Engineering from the University of Surrey played a pivotal role in helping me achieve this.

The programme offered an incredible balance between analytical thinking and creative expression. I particularly valued how the course encouraged us to examine texts from multiple perspectives whilst developing our own unique voice as writers. 

Surrey’s strong connections with employers and reputation for graduate employability made it the ideal place to build a practical foundation for my career.

My undergraduate degree at Surrey opened the door to opportunities within the university, including my current role at the Centre for Britain in Europe, thanks to the connections I built within the department. 

The programme's comprehensive curriculum, combined with its practical approach, provided me with the strategic skills and business acumen necessary to excel in a new professional landscape.

Since graduating from the Surrey MBA, I have upscaled my career from working as a Client Success Officer in London to Commercial Executive in Kuwait. Working for some of the biggest MNCs with the presence in about 40+ countries, the MBA has certainly helped me to leverage my knowledge and expertise to be successful at my role with a global outreach.

Passionate about building high-performing teams and embedding integrity, collaboration, and sustainability at the core of global energy trading.

Excited and proud to be joining the SurreyLeaders network. I loved my time at University of Surrey and I am looking forward to heading back there soon.
