Embarking on a journey to pursue a career as a dietitian is both exciting as well as challenging. As a first-year student studying a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Surrey, I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in this dynamic field. One of the most appealing aspects of studying at the University of Surrey is the well-rounded curriculum which has allowed me to dive into diverse concepts both practically and theoretically. This programme covers a wide range of subjects, including biochemistry, food science, physiology, and public health. Alongside the courseworks the programme highlights the emphasis on clinical placements as well as research opportunities. As a student, I have had the chance to collaborate with renowned faculty members in cutting-edge research projects and immersing myself into practical experiences which allow me to expose myself to real-world scenarios and hence develop my professional skill set. Undeniably, studying Nutrition and Dietetics requires great dedication and commitment to cope with the demanding and substantial workload. Even though the comprehensive curriculum may be an advantage, it limits flexibility to chose elective courses. Taking into consideration my experiences so far, I would wholeheartedly reach this programme to any future students who are passionate about the field and are willing to take up a challenge and be prepared for a rigorous academic journey to pursue their dream career. Despite the challenges, the programme’s robust curriculum, research and clinical placement opportunities make it an excellent choice for dedicated students seeking a career in Dietetics.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the University of Surrey, where I studied Biochemistry BSc between the years of 2015-2019. Situated a short walk from Guildford city centre, Stag Hill campus is the perfect place to live, study and enjoy life at the University of Surrey. The university has a wide range of societies which are a great way to meet like-minded people with similar interests- I decided to pick up tennis and squash and regularly took part in social sports sessions. I particularly enjoyed my course, which was taught by a range of leading academics who made the course content intriguing and made me always wanting to learn more. The highlight of my time at the university was the opportunity I had to spend an Erasmus placement year at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, where I worked as a research assistant in an laboratory and gained invaluable experience which have helped me with job applications later in life. Overall, I would highly recommend studying at the University of Surrey.

Stag Hill’s main campus in Guildford is perfect for creating a community atmosphere and a vibrant social life.
Student residences are clean, modern and well maintained. They are well organized on campus, with halls on the Stag Hill campus located very close to the Union and Lecture Blocks.

Hello. I studied in Surrey until 2021. I really liked the teachers were very friendly. I really liked the format of the exams. We had a combination of group assignments, essays, tests, multiple questions and exams. This allowed students to choose their options in order to have the best results. very cool

I’m quite happy to have studied in Surrey. Surrey will always be my home. I will miss this university very much. I recommend without thinking. My advice is that you choose a university where you imagine you will be happy and don’t just focus on the classes

I really liked. Surrey is one of the best universities in the world for nutrition. This is something that is noticeable from the first moment. The course is designed to achieve a 100% employability rate. In the first year, the vast majority of students got a spring internship and ended up receiving an offer for a summer internship. Surrey also offers the opportunity to undertake a placement year. I did mine in Portugal. I really enjoyed it and it was fundamental in my personal and professional growth. I’m graduating in two weeks and I already have a contract signed. Surrey was more than a university for me, Surrey and a second home.

I’m just sad thinking how in two weeks’ time I’m leaving Surrey. I will always be a proud Surrey student. Forever:

Forever Surrey!!!!

Surrey university is very good for keeping in contact with their students and keeping us up to date with what is going on. The variety of clubs and societies is phenomenal… there is something for absolutely everyone! I personally find that the sports teams are all very close, much like family. The facilities here are all very clean and modern and the lecturers are all supportive and friendly. Aside from the actual university, I think that the nightlife is very good, not quite like London but there is a variety of different things to do in and around Guildford on a daily basis. I would 100% recommend this university to everyone! I’m only in my first year and I’m so excited to continue my journey and get to know both the university and Guildford more!

Thank you to the University I had the amazing opportunity to do a challenging and competitive placement at Texas A&M University, which has given me so much experience and knowledge that I will always take with me!

A university that cares about its students, offering a wide range of helpful student services including a student union that organises many social events!
I completed a Bioscience degree which I greatly enjoyed, although some modules could have been organised a little better.
The university offers amazing placement year links which I highly suggest to take advantage from!
The university has a beautiful and green campus, located in a small town with a lively nightlife. Overall I would recommend Surrey for those looking to gain high quality education in an institution filled with welcoming students and professors.
