WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY 8
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STUDY AT SURREY? OWEN Media and Communication BSc “I visited campus with a friend who was considering attending the University to study physics. I found the students and staff to be impassioned and engaging, and the facilities on offer greatly impressed me. After a second visit for my own benefit to the Department of Sociology, I thought the staff and student body I met that day to be just as inspired and approachable as their colleagues in physics, and that is when I decided to make Surrey my first choice.”
TELL US ABOUT YOUR SURREY EXPERIENCE SO FAR. OLIVER Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year BEng “Doing a foundation year was an excellent experience – it helped to further my knowledge in all areas of my course and it aided my practical skills, such as time management. It also enhanced my ability to work within a team. I was able to enter the first year of my degree knowing my way around campus, knowing how to study in a university environment and achieving a good work-life balance.”
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO STUDENTS? ELISAVETHA Aerospace Engineering MEng “Make the most of the social opportunities at Surrey by joining clubs and societies. I joined the Team Surrey Archery Club and MechSoc, which I’ve really enjoyed. There are also lots of opportunities to get involved in other extracurricular activities, such as volunteering, being a course rep and doing a part-time job. Taking part is so important and it makes for an unforgettable experience.“

THE POWER OF DISNEY PRINCESSES What does our favourite Disney Princess say about us? Dr Robyn Muir investigates how Disney Princesses have evolved since Snow White first graced our screens in 1937. In her research, Robyn explores how femininity is represented in Disney films, merchandising, marketing and theme park experiences, and what this means for audiences’ understanding of gender. Robyn explains: “You can see Disney Princesses in everyday life. Young people can dress like princesses, learn with princesses and even sleep in princess duvets. They are framed as role models to young people. This means we can use media like Disney Princess films to start conversations about important societal issues and build media literacy skills.”

OF THOSE WHO TOOK INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS ARE IN WORK OR STUDY 21
NATÁLIA Aerospace Engineering MEng “I spent my placement at Williams Racing in the Heritage team, which looks after a vast collection of Williams Formula 1 cars. I worked with many departments and got to know over 200 people. My transferable competencies, such as teamworking, improved the most, but I also gained design skills and learned about practical engineering. One of my proudest moments was when we ran one of our heritage cars at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was an event we worked towards for months and seeing it all go well made me feel proud for our entire team. The other was being recognised for my work contributions during my placement with a ‘Brand Ambassador’ award, which I was presented with during Williams Racing’s Early Careers Awards night.”
22
COPTER Food Science and Nutrition BSc “During my studies, I had the opportunity to take on a summer placement at Leatherhead Food Research – a renowned organisation that delivers scientific and regulatory affairs advice to its customers. I loved being able to showcase my potential in the food industry. Being able to wear a company’s lanyard made me feel proud and satisfied with the hard work I put into my CV and the application process. Whilst on placement, I demonstrated my passion for the food industry and was offered a position after graduation! Being able to secure this opportunity before even starting my final year was a great feeling.”

BRAINWAVES Surrey’s dedication to research-led education has led to a recent breakthrough in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition affecting one in 20 children worldwide. Challenges associated with ADHD include school dropout, unemployment, and criminality. The most common treatment is currently medication, but a study co-led by Professor Roi Cohen Kadosh, head of the School of Psychology, found that painless, safe and non-invasive brain stimulation could significantly improve symptoms. Professor Kadosh commented: “The results of this study increase our confidence that, in the future, non-invasive brain stimulation could provide an alternative to medication as a treatment pathway for ADHD.”

SURREY’S SUSTAINABILITY SUSTAINABILITY AT SURREY Surrey was ranked 9th in the UK and 46th in the world by the Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings, which assesses universities’ performances against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). NET ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS BY 2030 Our Energy Reduction Working Group (led by the Sustainability Team) is working on over 50 projects to reduce our total energy consumption. These include improving building efficiency, working to increase on-site renewable energy generation, and continuing to expand the number of electric vehicles in our fleet. EXPANDING OUR SOLAR POWER Solar generation forms a big part of our net zero mission. Our new solar facility, being developed in partnership with SSE Energy Solutions, will increase our on-site renewable energy to 28% of total annual demand. The project will include wildflower planting, nature corridors, hedgerow expansion and bug hotels. GOLD STANDARD HEDGEHOG SCHEME We are proud to have received the British Hedgehog Preservation Society’s Gold Award for our hedgehog-friendly campus scheme.

EXAMINING A NEW, FLEXIBLE WAY TO HARVEST SOLAR POWER Surrey researchers are focusing on exciting new perovskite solar cell technologies, which could lead to solar cells that are lighter, more flexible and better performing than traditional ones, potentially helping the UK reach its 2050 carbon-neutral goal. Our scientists have also discovered a coating for this new solar cell technology that could help slash the cost of solar panels. OUR RESEARCH INTO SOILLESS BIOMASS ENERGY Surrey researchers, led by Dr Zoe Harris, are developing a cultivation method that can quickly grow crops without soil to create biomass energy. Producing heat, power and liquid transport fuels from biomass instead of fossil fuels could offer a wide range of environmental and socio-economic benefits. BOREHOLE PROVIDES 95% OF STAG HILL CAMPUS WATER: NOW MANOR PARK BOREHOLE IN DEVELOPMENT Our borehole for clean drinking water at Stag Hill campus now provides up to 1 million litres of water a day, increasing the resilience of our supply, and reducing costs and carbon emissions. It also provides teaching and research opportunities. Our next borehole project, on Manor Park campus, aims to supply the student village, vet school and clinical research buildings.
GREEN FLAG AWARD Our Stag Hill campus has a range of nature sites and is home to a variety of wildlife, from bee orchids to hedgehogs. Our green spaces are havens for staff, students, and our local community. Not only does our team maintain our beautiful grounds, they also work on improving biodiversity and integrating sustainable practices. This was recognised and celebrated by our Green Flag Award from the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy. SUSTAINABLE LABS AT SURREY LEAF sets out 44 criteria for lab users to improve their sustainability. Our labs and technicians are engaging keenly with the scheme, and several have already started
to progress towards the Bronze LEAF award. Changing the operating temperature for ultra-low temperature freezers (of which the University has hundreds) by dropping from –80 to –70 is another significant improvement. While the change does not affect research, it does reduce carbon emissions by 25% for each freezer. GREEN APPLE ENVIRONMENT AWARD We have been awarded a Green Apple Environment Award for our circular and closed-loop recycling process at the University. This award recognises environmental best practice across the world and highlights the initiative and drive of our Horticulture Team to implement more sustainable practices.

SUSTAINABLE SOCIETIES Our University of Surrey Students’ Union (USSU) invites you to join them in their sustainability campaign. USSU recognises that all their activities, services and products have an impact on the environment. They are passionate about creating positive change on campus, spreading awareness and encouraging others to get involved too. They pledge to: Reduce single-use plastic Encourage responsible consumption Engage students Increase biodiversity on campus. Students can get involved in a number of ways: Attending the Sustainability Forum Becoming a Sustainability Rep for a club or society Joining one of the many societies supporting sustainability initiatives Adopting positive environmental lifestyle habits.
For more information on sustainability at Surrey, follow @surreysustainability or visit: surrey.ac.uk/sustainability
Enactus is an international organisation that helps students to engage in social action and social enterprise. Their new project ‘Scorchers Go Green’ aims to educate young children on the importance of sustainability and the impact of climate change. They wish to plant 1,000 trees in the Surrey area by the end of the academic year. Surrey Garden Society manages a community garden and collaborates with the Estates and Facilities team to help make the campus green. They plant trees and flowers, grow fruit and vegetables and even keep bees. Surrey Business Society organised a ‘Sustainability in Business’ series of panels and discussions with guest speakers from a variety of businesses and sectors, including: Samsung, OLIO, MUD Jeans and UpCircle. Surrey Surf Club created ‘Surrey Surf’s Sustainable Swaps’, an IGTV series highlighting the everyday swaps we can make to help the planet and move towards a plastic-free, zero-waste lifestyle. They’ve covered bottles, earbuds and face pads, dental care and hair products. People & Planet Society launched the ‘Red Racoon Food Co-operative’ in collaboration with the Students’ Union, selling affordable plastic-free food on campus.

SOLVING A STICKY ISSUE When it comes to recycling packaging materials like glass or cardboard, sticky residue from adhesives can block water systems and even damage recycling machinery. At Surrey we’re helping industry and communities to improve their recycling efficiency. Our chemistry and physics researchers have invented a type of adhesive which can dissolve easily during the recycling process. Using a new degradable polymer invented at Surrey, labels can be detached up to 10 times faster than with traditional adhesives – providing a more effective recycling solution. Working on the concept in a project funded by the Malaysian Rubber Board, PhD student Rohani Abu Bakar says: “This brings us one step closer to reaching our sustainability goals on an industrial scale.”

OUR COURSES
74
There are lots of ways you can study for a degree with us. We offer multiple study options to make sure you get the knowledge, skills and experience you need. THREE-YEAR DEGREE Most degree courses in England take three years of study to complete. It’s possible to complete the majority of our courses in three years, which will let you start your career or move on to further study quickly. FOUR-YEAR DEGREE WITH A PROFESSIONAL TRAINING YEAR Many of our degree courses include a Professional Training placement, where you’ll usually spend one year working in an organisation to develop your skills, make connections and get a taste of what it’s like to work in your chosen industry. You may also have the option of pursuing a study exchange abroad during your placement year. See pages 20–21 for more information about our Professional Training placements. INTEGRATED MASTERS DEGREE Many of our subject areas give you the option of studying for a degree course with an integrated masters year. This means that you’ll graduate with a masters-level degree. Each of these subjects approach this differently, depending on what you need and what you want to get from it, whether that’s accreditation, research skills or a deeper level of knowledge or understanding.
DEGREE WITH A FOUNDATION YEAR We offer some of our undergraduate courses with a foundation year of study. This additional year is designed to give you extra skills and knowledge to support your learning before you progress on to degree-level studies. If you’re unlikely to meet the entry requirements for your chosen undergraduate course but are still keen to learn at Surrey, opting for a course with an integrated foundation year can offer you an alternative entry route. INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION YEAR If you’re applying as an international student and would like additional support in your transition to the UK, the Surrey International Study Centre offers a range of foundation pathways. The International Foundation Year is a programme of academic subjects, study skills and English language training. These courses are two semesters long and, on completion, you’ll be eligible to apply for the majority of our undergraduate courses (subject to meeting the progression grades required). Find out more, including start dates, entry requirements and how to apply, by visiting: isc.surrey.ac.uk
For more information on the integrated masters year, visit: surrey.ac.uk/study/integrated

Please refer to the course page on our website for all UCAS codes. REQUIRED SUBJECTS Please check the course pages on our website for full details of the subjects and grades you will need. FOUNDATION YEAR OPTION If you don’t meet our entry requirements for the undergraduate programme, you might still be able to apply for this course with an integrated foundation year.

Please check the course pages on our website for full details of entry requirements.
