The course has been great and I feel it has prepared me well for my career of choice. I have enjoyed both campuses. There are good facilities at Stag Hill particularly for study spaces.

Psychology / Criminology, Graduate

(5)·By Katherine T·Psychology· Jul 2021
Very good. Inclusive events, great nights out but also there was stuff arranged for the day or if you didn't want to go out. Was a lovely environment to get to know people There is a range of accommodation however a majority of the accommodation available is at the expensive end. But that is expected living in Surrey. My accommodation was very good with great facilities, if a bit cold at times. Extremely good. The student Union club is such good fun. They run a grocery store there in the day on Thursdays. There are multiple study centres around campus and a range of cafes, restaurants and social areas The lecturers were fantastic. There were a few modules that I wasn't particularly interested in but I know I had to completed them to ensure my course was accredited by the BPA. Generally I have really enjoyed my course and found my lecturers to be passionate and supportive Very good. The campus is very close to the town where there is a range of shops and night clubs.

Nursing, Year 1

(5)·By Kirsty·Nursing· Oct 2018
The support is brilliant and the ways in which the course is run is great, however when it comes to revision it is not the best, you are given 2 weeks to revise 200+ PowerPoint slides.

If you don't pass your assignments first time they put on extra support and allow you to book individual or group sessions to help you with understanding the feedback and helping you to improve your work to help you pass on your next submission.

MSc Sustainable Development at University of Surrey

(5)·By Laura B·Environmental Science· Jun 2023
I have loved my time at university of Surrey. It has been completely perfect, but through their course reps, they have given the sumtufents a big voice and they have really listened to feedback and suggestions and have worked their hardest to accommodate our requests and make our live and university experience the best as possible. I have also been very lucky as my department dedicates so much time to students and we have been able to network and create amazing connections within the department that not only help me in the current time as a student, but I also know they will help me in the future.

Great university!

Biology as a course is challenging but well-taught. The university is full of greenery and has beautiful scenery. The accommodations are also great, with new buildings available.

Law / Legal Studies, Year 2

(5)·By Kamila Z·Law· Jul 2021
Freshers week was extremely fun and helpful in meeting new people. Considering that it was before Covid, it allowed freshers to have the best time of their lives. The University organised parties and events making sure we are enjoying ourselves while staying safe. The university has 3 accommodation campuses. They range in price and are all very affordable, spacious and clean. They make sure that everything is fine and everyone feels comfortable. Our University has a massive sports centre allowing students to lead a healthy lifestyle. The library has a few floors and it's open 24/7, 365 days a year, allowing us to study at any time. The student hive made a nest, creating a comforting space for students to relax The teachers are very supportive, they set tasks and make sure that everyone understands it during discussion sessions. Lectures are very well prepared, giving us the necessary information to succeed. Lessons are spread out throughout the week, ensuring that we have time for our own activities. Guildford is a beautiful town with a lot of places to eat and hang out. There are a few nightclubs including a student only club to ensure students safety and comfort. The city has many lovely views and hills.

University Experience

(5)·By Maisie H·English Studies· Jun 2023
My university experience has been, on the whole, a very positive experience. I have met many friends and achieved so much in my studies. Whilst I struggled towards the beginning of my second year, the help of my lectures pushed me through to achieve the amazing grades that I am achieving now. All the lecturers are so supportive and everyone you meet is really welcoming and friendly.
