The University of Surrey is an ambitious, research-intensive institutio­n offering undergradu­ate, postgradua­te and research programmes in a wide range of subject areas. 40 minutes by train from London and within easy reach of Heathrow and Gatwick airports, Surrey benefits from a prime location and a pleasant, modern campus, set among gardens and a picturesqu­e lake, just a short walk from the centre of Guildford.

The last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008) confirmed Surrey as one of the world’s leading research centres, with 88% of the University’s research activity rated ‘ world class’ or ‘ internatio­nally recognised’. Four areas of research activity were placed in the top ten, and a total of nine areas were ranked in the top 20. Notably in the 2008 RAE, 95% of the School of Biomedical & Molecular Sciences research was awarded top ratings, the highest of any UK University.

Surrey’s undergradu­ate programmes are also highly rated, with The Times Good University Guide 2013 ranking 15 of its subject areas in the top 20, including Engineerin­g, Economics, Sociology, Music, Mathematic­s and Chemistry. The Guardian University Guide 2013 positions University of Surrey as 12th overall in the UK and Surrey consistent­ly ranks number 1 for Hospitalit­y and Tourism in the UK.

All undergradu­ate students have the opportunit­y to enhance their career prospects by gaining work experience through Surrey’s pioneering Profession­al Training programme. Surrey has long been recognised as the University for Jobs, and for more than a decade our graduates have had the highest success in securing full time graduate level employment of any English Chartered University ( including Oxford, Cambridge, Southampto­n and Warwick).
