Top five for student experience


Supporting the next generation


The University’s Widening Participation and Outreach team has been awarded £863,607 in funding by the Higher Education Funding Council for England to lead a new collaborative outreach project.


The Higher Education Outreach Network will highlight the opportunities available at university to pupils in Years 9 to 13, and guide them through the application process. This collaboration complements the ongoing work of the team, providing young people from groups under-represented in higher education with relevant information, advice and guidance.


In this year’s Student Experience Survey, compiled by Times Higher Education, the University achieved an impressive top-five ranking. Overall Surrey was ranked fiſth nationally, rising from 26th place last year.


Surrey was also placed top for security, sixth for our excellent industry connections and student welfare and seventh for both facilities and recommending the University to a friend.
