Official University of Surrey Q&A

Is there any chance of me getting into Surrey for Mathematics with 3 B's? Both my FP2 and C4 both went horrendously bad and I believe they will drag down my overall Further Maths and Maths grades respectively to B's although my other units are most likely A's. My offer was AAB to put everything in perspective.

Is it possible that if I enter other universities for year one and return to Uni Of Surrey for year two with outstanding result like 70% or above grade? Since I am currently studying the foundation course in Surrey, unfortunately, my average score is slightly below the entry requirement and the uni simply rejected my application and said I am not able to enter the uni anymore.That's why I am seeking for help and trying my best to get back into Uni of Surrey. It really makes me feel sad and helpless.

Hi,

I am an EU student due to start in September, Surrey is currently my firm choice and I was wondering if the EU fees would be maintained for the duration of my course or if I would have to start paying international fees if and when the UK leaves the EU. I have received an email from my insurance choice saying that their fees would remain unchanged for the entire course, however, I have not yet heard anything from Surrey regarding this issue.

Thank you in advance,

Hi, I was wondering how much an EPQ is valued at Surrey for an engineering undergraduate degree? Would it replace a lower A level grade, and is it recommended?

Hello,

Which type of engineering course are you interested in? If you let me know then I'll get in touch with the relevant course rep and get some info for you

Hi,
I'm set on doing an Electrical and Electronics Engineering course, but whether that's a BEng or MEng I still don't know - probably a BEng.

When are applicant days usually held? I have a place for September 2017 and I was just wondering if they are held around about March/April?

Hiya,
Just a quick one, would I be able to defer my entry on the DAY of results day at all? Just curious because some teachers have been talking to me about it

Hello, I have a quick question!
It's about entry requirements that you have to fulfil after you get an offer. So, in the website of Surrey University they say that the requirements include getting an overall 9 in grades and 80% in the state exams. Do they mean that I have to get 80% (or above) in every exam that I've taken or is it the overall percentage, too?

I'd be very grateful for the answer!

Hello,

Can you just let me know which course you are applying for, and which exams you are taking? *Then I can get in touch with the relevant person and get an answer for you

Thanks,

Hi,

I have been offered a place to study Theatre and Performance with Creative Writing. How flexible is the Major/Minor system? For instance, will I be able to choose how many credits I want to earn from each course, so I can choose whether I want to major in Creative Writing or Theatre?

Hi, I have a few questions:1. Does the diploma need to be legalized or just a translated copy is sufficient?2. University of Surrey is my insurance choice, I have fulfilled all conditions in the conditional offer but I have not received an answer yet - when will the offer be changed to unconditional?3. In case by 25 July I have no reply from my firm choice, can I apply for accommodation in Surrey having in mind that the deadline there is 25 July and you are allowed to apply only if Surrey is your firm choice? In this case, if I receive a negative reply from my firm choice as late as August - will I not be ale to apply for accommodation in Surrey?

Hello,

I've received the following information from the admissions team about the EPQ:

The EPQ is not considered when assessing applications. This goes for all courses in the University, as well as Engineering. The reason for this is that although it is a tariff-bearing qualification, our offers are based purely on A-level results rather than tariff points.

While we do not discourage students from taking an EPQ, especially if it is related to the course they wish to study, it would not make up for a lower A-level grade.

I hope this helps - let me know i you have any other questions.

Emma
