My placement has helped me grow and I feel more prepared to return in my final year as a well-rounded sports science student, with a stronger skill set and clearer direction for my future.

I particularly valued the consistent support from both lab assistants and lecturers, who were always available to help with any questions. The university also provided additional support through bootcamps, office hours, and the PALS scheme, which helped me with my studies.

As part of the Surrey/ICE Scholarship Scheme, I matched with civil engineering contractor BAM Nuttall, who provided me with both financial sponsorship and placement opportunities whilst studying.

The university’s placement team was incredibly helpful and motivating throughout the entire process. Despite the setbacks, their unwavering belief and support were a massive reason I was able to acquire my placement.

I loved every minute of my Professional Training placements and I am sure you will too: just say 'yes'!

Placement was the best way to get valuable work experience and cement my theoretical experiences at university. I feel well-equipped to join the engineering workforce post-graduation as a result of my placement.

Going to Sydney was without a doubt the best six months of my life. I’ve always wanted to visit Sydney; the rest of Australia, so when I saw there was a six-month programme at Surrey, it was one of the driving factors in choosing Surrey Uni.
