Hi
@TiggerTash,
Congrats on getting offers from all these universities! Great to hear you are considering Surrey as one of your options for postgrad study. While I don't have personal experience of the MSc in Entrepreneurship, I do have a couple tips for comparing universities.
I would recommend looking at the modules offered in each course, and comparing them to see which interests you more. You can find a list of the modules on the MSc Entrepreneurship course page on our website,
here. If you click on the modules (which are underlined) you'll be taken to a page describing that module
When doing this, it is useful to think of how these modules would help prepare you to achieve your ultimate goal of setting up your own successful business
Have you visited all of the universities? If not, I would suggest having a tour around campus and exploring the local area to make sure you’d be happy to live in whichever place you intend to study at. We run weekly campus tours on Wednesdays which leave Senate House at 1pm and last about an hour. If you can’t make a campus tour, you’re free to come do a self-guided tour. More info on those options
here. In addition to that, if you’d like to speak to a member of the teaching team on the course then that can usually be arranged (depending on the academic’s availability). If you contact the Admissions team they’ll be able to put you in touch with an academic who will be happy to answer any questions you have about the course. Their email address is
[email protected].
Another plus of studying at Surrey is that we provide loads of support to student entrepreneurs, including a dedicated space from which you can run a business during your studies, access to Surrey's crowdfunding platform, access to the Social Enterprise Fund, and the chance to win a Student Entrepreneur in Residence scholarship. We are also a member of SETsquared, which supports new businesses. More on all of that
here. Our
Careers & Employability team also host various employer-led workshops and guest speaker events throughout the year. These provide a great opportunity to network and get advice from people who have been in your position.
If you’ve got any questions about life at uni, the facilities, Students’ Union, and Guildford in general then feel free to ask – I was an undergrad student at Surrey from 2012-2015
Hope this helps!
All the best,
Ashley
