Welcome

We’re delighted to welcome you to the University of Surrey today. Whether your perspective is from university or you’re returning to study, you’ll have a lot to consider when choosing your next steps. We hope that our Open Day will help you to make the decision that’s right for you.

As one of the UK’s leading universities, there’s so much to discover about Surrey. Coming to our Open Day will help you to develop an understanding of how our students and academics are fuelled by a passion for learning, a profound sense of curiosity about the world and a desire to create a positive impact for the benefit of others.

You can also tour our beautiful lakeside campus and outstanding facilities such as the Surrey Sports Park, the Library and Learning Centre, the Ivy Arts Centre and the Manor Park student village. The day will also give you the chance to talk to staff in detail about the programmes that interest you, and find out why the University of Surrey offers you a wonderful kick-start to your career. We pride ourselves on having a welcoming campus, and we hope you’ll see why so many students feel at home here right away.

I hope you enjoy the day, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future as a Surrey student.
