The University of Surrey shares knowledge and makes new discoveries through innovative research, business collaborations and teaching. The University sets out to inspire people to do wonderful things, and help them to acquire the tools they need to make a meaningful contribution to the world.

Educating students

Surrey students are inspired by award winning academics from around the world who teach the essential life skill of how to learn while also undertaking research that is changing lives. Personal and professional development is embedded at the heart of a student’s learning experience.

Research

At the University of Surrey, research is having a practical and positive impact on people’s lives, touching communities and societies all over the world.

The University is known for world-class research in the key areas of electronics, communications, physics, health, medicine and space science.

The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) classified a significant amount of research at the University as ‘world-leading’. In all, 78 per cent of the University’s research outputs were ranked either 4* or 3*; of a quality that is world-leading or internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour.

An international university

With over 50 per cent of all research outputs featuring an international co-author and more than 100 strategic partnerships across the globe, international activities have become increasingly important at Surrey. The University has one of the largest proportions of overseas students at any university – more than a fifth – and is a founding member of the University Global Partnership Network (UGPN) involving North Carolina State University and the Universidad de São Paulo in Brazil.
