Overview
One of the 1960s generation of universities, Surrey has two campuses – Stag Hill and Manor Park – a short distance from the centre of the county town of Guildford. The university has seen much development in recent years including the addition of landmark facilities such as a medical school – which expects to admit its first 40 students to a graduate-entry programme next September – and a veterinary school, opened in 2015, and one of only 11 in the country. The university serves a student population that hails in the most part from London and the South East and is more socially diverse than might be expected. More than a third of students are drawn from ethnic minorities and a similar proportion are the first in their family to go to university. More than four in five students are educated in non-selective state schools, a higher proportion than in many universities with similar academic profiles. Graduates achieve well with 85% landing high-skilled jobs; they are well advised, with Surrey’s careers service named the best of its kind in the National University Employability Awards last year.

Paying the bills
The University of Surrey bursary pays £2,500 a year to students from homes where the annual income is less than £25,000 and where the home address is in the 20% of postcodes with either the lowest rates of progression to university or the highest levels of deprivation. The bursary is offset against accommodation fees (which can reduce the cost of living in halls to near zero) in the first year and is awarded as a cash sum in subsequent years of study. For students estranged from their parents or those who are care leavers, the bursary is £3,000 per year and not means- or location-tested. Several scholarships promote diversity and or subject specialisms. In response to the cost of living crisis, the university and students’ union have teamed up to create and promote cost savings for students. These have included distributing unsold sandwiches and bakery goods free at the end of the day in university catering outlets twice a week, and offering a commuter bursary to eligible students. Rooms in university halls at Surrey are extraordinarily cheap; the university is one of just four in this guide where rooms start at less than £3,000 for a full academic year (38 weeks). There are more than 200 rooms at this price in the university’s accommodation stock of 5,800 places. The top price this year is around £7,790 after price rises were pegged to between 1% and 3%.

What’s new?
The university aims to remove paper from all examinations from the start of the 2024-25 academic year. From that point, all examinations will be taken on electronic devices with the ambition that students will receive results and feedback more quickly, addressing a common complaint made by students across all universities in the annual National Student Survey. The university says the digital format will also allow for the setting of “more engaging and varied” types of question. Surrey’s main teaching block, which is used by all subjects as well as student societies, has been redeveloped in the past year. The refurbishment has added the latest IT and audiovisual technology, flexible furniture to allow spaces to be easily reconfigured for different styles of teaching, and improved communal facilities. The upgrade will now be rolled out across the university. Extra social learning spaces are also being developed across campus, so that by September 2024 all academic schools will have at least one space of this type. A major upgrade of the department of music and media is now complete, incorporating a double-height television studio and gallery, vision and sound engineering rooms and a creative music technology studio. The existing Studio 2 has been refurbished acoustically and aesthetically and incorporates a new state-of-the-art mixing console. Elsewhere, the department of sociology is creating a new crime scene flat on campus for students to develop their practical investigation skills.

Admissions, teaching and student support
Surrey operates a contextual offer scheme for students who live in postcodes among the 20% with the lowest levels of progression to university or the highest levels of social deprivation. Students with a long-term health condition or disability, and those who have spent time in care are also eligible for a reduced course offer, typically one A-level grade (or equivalent) below the published offer. The In2Surrey outreach scheme offers several additional criteria under which students can qualify for a reduced offer. Applicants who receive a contextual offer also benefit from bespoke help, including mentoring by an existing Surrey student, to ease the transition into university life during the months running up to the start of their first year. The university’s Centre for Wellbeing is the hub around which mental health and wellbeing support revolves. It offers a range of pastoral services, and advice and support for mental, emotional and psychological issues, as well as signposting to clinical services.
