Local MP, Anne Milton, has congratulated the University of Surrey on being awarded The University of the Year 2016 and The University of the Year for Student Experience by the Times and the Sunday Times. A number of key factors were recognised by the judges in their decision. In particular, the University received a score of 92% for overall student satisfaction in this year’s National Student Survey and 96.9% of graduates were in work or further study within six months of graduating in 2014.
Anne said: "This is an outstanding achievement and the praise should be shared by everyone who has worked at the University of Surrey over the years to make it the centre of excellence it has now become. I have spent a great deal of time on the campus since becoming the local MP in 2005 and I know that the University has always had at its heart the future careers and wellbeing of the students that study there. The national recognition of the success of the University of Surrey brings pride to us all across Guildford. My thanks go to everyone who has contributed to this well-deserved success."
