Student stories

Overall, this programme helped me understand what I want as a person and as a professional, and it helped show me what my career can look like, as well as how I can lead it myself.

One of the great benefits of our masters courses – especially for international students – is their flexibility. On graduation day, we caught up with Inacio Lote Gimo, who studied for an MSc Electronic Engineering part-time from his home in Mozambique, with regular visits to the University of Surrey campus.

Our PhD students go on to a wide range of careers, from postdoctoral research posts to exciting roles in industry. On graduation day, we caught up with Andrew Oxley who studied for a Mathematics PhD at Surrey and is now working in financial modelling for Nationwide building Society.

Many of our international students use the knowledge they gain from their masters course to help solve challenges in their home countries. At graduation day we caught up with Tuntika Lektanerkski who studied on our MSc Renewable Energy Systems Engineering before returning to Thailand.

Many of our masters students progress on to a PhD in an area they’re passionate about, while others take up a wide range of exciting roles in industry. On graduation day, we caught up with Chutima Termsuk, who studied for our Medical Physics MSc and is now undertaking a PhD at Surrey in radiation dosimetry.
