University of Surrey in general

Well I've just come to the end of my first at the University of Surrey. The University is located in the South East of England in the centre of Guildford. It currently accommodates approximately 15,000 students and 2,500 staff. Prior to becoming the University of Surrey it was known as Battersea College of Technology. The university itself is an excellent place to study with a dynamic atmosphere and plenty of amenities of campus. The campus student's union is a known as Rubix and provides good entertainment most nights of the week. The bar has recently refurbished and is known as chancellors. This sells drinks and reasonable priced bar food. Campus ...  Read the complete review

I am currently in my final year at the University of Surrey and feel I have experienced what the uni has to offer so here we go: Location: The uni is situated in Guildford, close to both London and the coast. Guildford itself is a very cute town, with a cobbled high street, sweet buildings and lots of green spaces. However it is also very much a student town with plenty of places to eat drink and be merry! Being so close to London is great- a return from Guildford to Waterloo with a Young Person's card costs £7.90 or a travelcard is £9.50 and the journey takes about 30/35 minutes. Accommodation: I only have experience of certain ...  Read the complete review

I recently graduated from the University of Surrey (or UniS as they now like to call themselves after a logo re-design competition). I had a very worthwhile four years including a year in industry. I completed a course in Mathematics and Computing Science. I was initially attracted to the place because of the great idea of a placement year in industry and it's reputation as a good university and the best record for graduate employment after university - almost 97% apparently. Part of the high graduate employment record of Surrey is due to the fact that there is a campus-wide policy of including industrial placement periods in the courses and you are more ...  Read the complete review

First they change the in name to UniS after a logo competition, then they build part of a boat as the new European Institute of Health and Medicine Studies...and next they let the same architect build a train to go with it as the new on site accomadation block...not that that's going to well...to start with they had leaks and hot water where it should be cold, still it's the first privately owned accomadation so at least that isn't the uni's fault. Don't get me wrong I actually do like it here at Surrey Uni, it just seems that a lot of things are happening now that didn't when I first came here...I've been here for almost 5 years now ...  Read the complete review

I was primarily attracted to Surrey Uni (or UniS to use its new, slightly corporate image) by the highly specialised music and sound recording degree course (The ?Tonmeister? course) it offered. Although possibly of limited interest to most readers of this review, its still worth mentioning this course. The course is world-renowned and highly respected within the specialised field of audio engineering. Since graduating, I have found myself in a well-paid job in an industry I'm highly likely to stay in for a long time. Part of the high graduate employment record of Surrey is due to the fact that there is a campus-wide policy of including industrial placement ...  Read the complete review
