The University of Surrey was established on 9 September 1966 with the grant of its Royal Charter, but its roots go back to a late nineteenth-century concern to provide greater access to further and higher education for the poorer inhabitants of London.
The University of Surrey is structured into three faculties; The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS), The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Science (FEPS) and The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (FHMS).
Surrey is a world-class, research-led University, committed to research excellence.
Figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) reveal that 95.6 per cent of Surrey’s 2015 graduates were in work (or further education) six months after they graduated.
On average, our graduate employment rate over the past five years is 95 per cent.
