Student review [#28925] for Psychology
at University of Surrey

I really enjoyed taking psychology in Surrey. It was without a doubt a very different experience to what I would have in Portugal. The teachers were very close to us. I even ended up getting a placement on the recommendation of a teacher.

I think what sets Surrey apart from other universities is its connection to the industry. In Surrey all teachers are encouraged to maintain a link to the industry. Hence, everything we learn turns out to be useful in our professional life.

I think it is important to mention the care that the university has for the mental health of its students. During my first year an older student would always check in on me twice a week to make sure I was settling in well. This peer support ambassador was essential for me. It helped me to familiarize myself with the campus but more importantly it introduced me to societies and was very supportive of me in the most difficult times. I am very grateful to the university for all the support it has given me.

Forever Surrey 🙂
