Student stories

Engineering has a great range of facilities all over the campus, from the Engineering Design Centre to the Workshops. This allows us to compete in extracurricular competitions, like the ones I take part in with Peryton Space.

Space, stars, and the underlying science behind them has always been fascinating to me.  I have always had a desire to tinker and build projects. Combining these two passions fitted perfectly into my degree.

My summer internship at Flock Mobility has given me a number of opportunities such as creating software for sustainable mobility and getting an insight into the work culture of a start-up.

I enjoyed my four-week elective placement in Ghana – I always wanted to do my elective internationally to see a different healthcare system.

I always wanted to work at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a qualified nurse – and now I will! It’s my dream job.

I contacted several potential supervisors from various universities but was instantly seduced by the accessibility and generosity of spirit of staff from the School of Literature and Languages at the University of Surrey .
