University of Surrey (reviews)

University of Surrey is a campus university with a good balance of community, academics and social life. It is extremely well known for my course – International Hospitality and Tourism Management – ranking top in the UK. The professors here are invested in their subject area and would go above and beyond to help students succeed. The network you will meet here is incredible – course mates from all around the world, field work visits to companies and networking sessions with industry companies. I have enjoyed my couple of years in the university and in my course, which I really recommend to people. I am certainly looking forward to continuing my studies here!

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.

Surrey university has a very friendly campus. The lecturers are very welcoming and friendly and are always there to talk you through issues you have or direct you in the right direction. (Speaking for my subject of law). The campus is really pretty, especially when it’s sunny with the lake. However, the university can be a bit disorganised and late at times when it comes to releasing information like timetables, events etc. This is one thing I think they should improve on. Other than that it is a lovely university with great staff and a great campus.

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.

Excellent facilities, tutors, academics, and students with a good social life. Allowed me the time and presence for me to grow and adapt as a person. During my time there from 2019-2022 I have grown significantly

It was a great experience studying at the University of Surrey. The course could have more classes and practical situation. More labs sessions could have helped a lot of students and overall the university has a lot of facilities.

Surrey university has to be the best decision I ever made. Despite the nerves and the wanting to drop out in the first few weeks, waiting it out and giving it a chance was 100% worth it. From the diverse range of friendly students to the excellent teaching and the beautiful campus, Surrey is really the place to be. If you are thinking about going to Surrey I recommend, you will have the best few years of your life.

I had a brilliant experience studying at the University of Surrey. The teaching facilities are one of the best I have ever seen, and the lecturers are very supportive. I liked how convenient it is to contact your personal tutors and lectures to get support from them and how easily accessible all the buildings are, from the library to the student support. The only downside would be that the study environment is a bit laid back as there are less exercises to involve students in practical activities.
