At Surrey, we have an outstanding track record for graduate employability. Many of our taught programmes include the option to add a Professional Training placement or an industry-linked project, so you graduate with real experience on your CV as well as a qualification. That's possible because of our relationships with more than 2,000 employer partners, from Airbus and GlaxoSmithKline to the NHS and Barclays. It's a big part of why 93% of our graduates are in work or further study within 15 months, why we're ranked 21st in the UK by the Complete University Guide 2027 and 7th for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2026.
There's more support behind you too. Surrey graduates funding their own studies can apply for a 20% alumni fee discount and there's a wide range of scholarships and bursaries across our faculties.
