At uni you have christmas, easter and summer holidays. It's not like school where you get half terms as well. You have 3 weeks of over christmas, 4 over easter and then quite a few weeks off over summer.
Hey for registration we need to bring evidence of student finance confirmation. Do I just print out the entitlement summary?
Hello,
I'm a student in the United States and am considering applying to the University of Surrey, but am unsure if my qualifications warrant application. Although my test scores fall within the entry requirements, I am concerned because my high school GPA is quite low (it is weighted down by freshman and sophomore years, since then I have shown great improvement). How much of a role do GPA's play in choosing whether or not to admit a student, and are different grades considered based on which course is applied to?
Thanks!

Hi :smile: Our entry requirements for LLB Law are AAA-AAB, so your predicted grades would meet this. Obviously we'd look at your application as a whole as well as your predicted grades :smile: If you need more information about this, it'd be worth getting in touch with our admissions team ([email protected]). I hope this helps!
Hi!
Im a prospective law student. I know what the grade requirements are for Surrey but I received ABBB at AS and I've been predicted ABB at A2. WOuld this put me at a disadvantage?

That should be fine, but it's worth checking with our student services team ([email protected]) or on Twitter @SurreyStudent. :smile:

Hi! Do you count Maths and Further Maths as two A-Levels towards an offer of three?

(i.e. Maths, Further Maths and English Lit, to study Economics and Maths)

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I'm looking to apply to computer science for surreyThe grade requirements are ABB and I have predicted ABC, is there any chance I will get an offer even though my predicted are lower? I know I can get a B in maths
Hello, again!

I've begun the application process online, but wanted to quickly ask about the personal statement. I'm applying for the MA in Acting program, and have composed and edited my statement. Where can I find what the outline/requirements are for the statement, such as what should be in there and the word count? I've searched on the Surrey website, but was unable to find anything...

Hi there,

We usually mention on the subject page if we interview or not, and there is no information about interviews Biochemistry.

However I can't say 100% - if you can contact admissions via [email protected] that would be the way to find out for sure.

Hope that helps and thanks for your interest in Surrey!

Hi,

When making an offer we evaluate your whole application - your predicted grades are part of this but not all that we base a decision on.

I would expect that it is still worth applying, but please take this as a suggestion only -for a definitive answer please contact our admissions team ([email protected])

I hope that helps!

Hi, good question!

I'd suggest getting in contact with the GSA admissions team at: [email protected]

This article might be useful too, it's mainly aimed at undergraduates but has some good general points as well:

http://www.surrey.ac.uk/features/top-tips-writing-personal-statement

Finally, we have our admissions policy which might be helpful - it explains how we evaluate applications : http://www.surrey.ac.uk/apply/policies

I hope this helps! Do write back if you have more questions.
