OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Overall a fantastic university. Could do with some updating regarding facilities and support but is well on the way. Definitely look at prices of living in surrey before coming to the univeristy as it is very expensive.

Job Prospects

How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?

The university allows students to take a placement year and provides support whilst looking for a placement as well as during the placement year. There is also a compulsory personal development module which allows students to critically reflect on their CV.

Course and Lecturers

What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?

I like the diversity of modules and how easy they are to access on the system (Surreylearn) however there is very little interaction between the lecturer and the student with information sort of "thrown at" us and expected to be retained. For example, one of our second year lectures was incorrectly informed of the information we had be taught in first year and as a result we were left to complete an assignment without very much support or knowledge.

How many contact hours per week do you have?

What do you think of your Students' Union? If you don't get involved, why not?

I like the student union as a venue for a nightclub however societies have never really interested me and i prefer to hang out with a wide variety of friends made either through my course or through my hall's accommodation in first year.

Uni Facilities

How good are your university’s facilities?

This can vary depending on the lecture hall. For example, some are brand new others could do with updating.

City Life

What’s the city life like?

Very expensive but you get what you pay for. Beautiful surrounding areas and lots of things to do. Clubs are fun but lack in variety and location.

Student Support

How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).

Tutors are more annoying in first year (mostly provide A-level feedback) then become better. The centre for wellbeing needs a wakeup call as it is currently a shocking slow and poor service. ALS is currently so overbooked that I am unable to be seen by a university 1to1 staff.
