Student Megan E. Microbiology BSc One of the highlights of my placement at GlaxoSmithKline was the additional skills I didn’t expect to learn in a lab-based setting, such as procurement, project management, event planning and EHS engagement.
Student Ben O'Sullivan Nursing Studies (Registered Nurse Mental Health Nursing) BSc (Hons) The lack of available mental health services makes me want to be the change and generate more support to provide the best care for people who desperately need it.
Graduate Kendrick Foo Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BEng (Hons) My heavy involvement with StagTV to put course material into practice as well as my placement year at Dolby made it easy to choose my current career path.
Graduate Oliver Cotton Space Engineering MSc I value the high level of knowledge I was able to acquire, and the warm, positive overall experience from my time here. It was a great combination of having fun and studying.
Student Monique Sahnan Veterinary Biosciences BSc (Hons) Some of our lectures are delivered by external guest lecturers, many of whom work at Surrey Research Park, which is great as we can see how the content we’re learning about is being applied in the field.
Student Katja Microbiology BSc I chose Surrey because of the modules that were offered, which focused on microbiology from year 1. I’m more than happy with the choice I made!
Student Katarin Mägi Food Science and Nutrition BSc (Hons) If you have the opportunity to do a placement, go for it. You will learn so much about yourself, the field you are in and what career opportunities are out there.
Graduate Katie Twell Sport and Exercise Science BSc (Hons) After returning from placement for my final year and getting to select more clinical modules, I knew that I wanted to have a career in exercise physiology.
Graduate Tom Carter Veterinary Medicine and Science BVMSci (Hons) When I got to my final year out on placement, I realised how enormously advantageous Surrey’s emphasis on practical Day One skills is.
