The University of Surrey is one of the UK's top professional, scientific and technological universities. Named The Times and Sunday Times University of the Year 2016, Surrey has a world-class profile and a leading reputation in teaching and research. It offers students a unique combination of high academic standards, employment success, and a prime location in beautiful surroundings, yet with ease of access to London.
The university has been around for over one hundred years, and its roots date back to the late 1800s when there was a need to provide London's poorer residents with access to higher education. In 1966, the university opened its doors to the public and has since become a shining example of educational excellence. The university is committed to life-changing education and research, and its beautiful, sprawling campus provides students with the resources they need to succeed both personally and professionally.
