Discover the benefits to students

 

Each year, over 50% of Surrey's students choose to do a professional training placement as an integral part of their 

degree.  Here is what some of those who were on placement in 2008 thought about their experience.

                                        

" I feel that I have gained a lot of practical and professional experience - I now feel I have a better idea of a career path postgraduation.  I feel a lot more confident in my practical skills and enthusiastic about the future of my career."

Toby Shannon, Physics placement 2007/08

"I'm ready for the world of work.  More mature and focused."

Tom Moore, Business Management placement 2007/08

"I feel a lot more confident in my skills and able to achieve anything I set my mind on.  I now have a goal to work towards which will motivate me to do my best in my final year.  I have matured a lot over the last year and become more responsible. I appreciate the meaning of hard work and the rewards it brings."

Rebecca Clarke, Economics placement 2007/08

"I've gained contacts in industry, motivation for studying, experience of the industry.  I'm more confident."
