Student Profile

Alina Gavrilovskaya – RussiaBusiness, Economics, Law and Politics Foundation Now graduated in BA International Hospitality and Tourism

I started the Foundation course at the ISC in 2008 and moved to my chosen degree in Hospitality and Tourism. I can’t believe that I have just graduated. I was working so hard and I thought that my graduation was so far away that I would never see it. But now I am standing here in a gown. It’s fabulous!

I would advise other young people to really take advantage of such an opportunity and to understand how this will help them in life in the future. The knowledge that they will get if they come to the UK to study will get them a long way. It’s priceless; it’s like the most important thing you can get. It’s a great education. As a final message I would like to say come to Surrey and enjoy your life!

“Surrey has Tourism and Hospitality degrees that are ranked number 1 in the UK.”

Student Profile

Ramin Torabi – IranianBusiness, Economics, Law and Politics Foundation, leading to BA Finance and Accounting

I chose to study in the UK because I wanted to experience a new culture and lifestyle. I enjoy being with students from many different nationalities.

The course was very useful and I found that most of the modules we studied at the ISC are of a similar style to what we are going to study at university. Teaching at the ISC is also very similar to the university’s system and the tutors show us how to be prepared for undergraduate study. Examinations and coursework are very close to what we will do at university.

I hope to do a placement in my third year, and eventually start working for a bank or a big company.

“I chose to study at the University of Surrey because of its high ranking.”

An Unrivalled LocationThe University of Surrey is ideally located for international students. Close to the two main international airports, it is based in a safe, attractive town in the beautiful South East of England and is less than an hour from all the world-class attractions of London.

Guildford – your University TownThe University campus, Guildford and the surrounding area provide a safe and secure place to live.

Set in the heart of Surrey’s rolling countryside, the bustling, historic town is just ten minutes’ walk away from the University.

England’s beautiful south coast is also within easy reach; the seaside city of Brighton is ever-popular with international visitors.

Locally, there is a regular bus service between the campus and the town which runs late into the night while trains to London and elsewhere run very frequently.

Abdulla AlSubaie – Saudi ArabiaEngineering, Science and Mathematics Foundation, leading to BEng Medical Engineering

I decided to join the University of Surrey because of its achievements and location. It is close to London and the seaside is not far. The University of Surrey has a very good Students’ Union which has lots of activities so you can meet your new friends from all over the world and enjoy fun times.

Studying at the ISC was the platform for me to start my university life and it made studying easier.

In terms of my future plans, I would like to finish my degree and then I hope to apply for an MBA at the University of Surrey.

“The teachers were the main reason for my success in the Foundation Year – they were really helpful.”

The International Student OfficeThe International Student Office provides information and support which is uniquely relevant to international students. It currently helps over 3,000 students from 145 different countries in areas such as immigration, work permits, police registration, opening bank accounts, part-time work and liaison with embassies and high commissions overseas.

We liaise closely with the Students’ Union in providing a wide range of activities for all international students. There is an end-of-year lunch for all those who are staying on campus at that time and the i-Festival, once a year, provides a chance for all students to experience and learn more about other cultures and traditions.

Please check our website regularly for up-to-date information for international students: www.surrey.ac.uk/international

i-FestivalThe i-Festival includes an international reception and exhibition, a quiz and international disco.

The highlight is an international gala where societies present stage performances depicting their regions and cultures. It is always thoroughly enjoyed by students, staff and guests of honour.

Student InsuranceIn our experience, it is essential that international students have the protection of personal insurance for the duration of their time in the UK. The consequences of being uninsured can be extremely difficult and expensive.

For this reason, Study Group has developed an insurance policy called StudyCare. This is designed especially for international students. It will cover you for loss of personal possessions as well as providing accident and medical insurance during your time at the International Study Centre.

In order to make sure you have the right type of cover Study Group automatically adds the StudyCare to your invoice at a cost of £8 per week, regardless of course length, unless you can provide proof of alternative adequate cover. The insurance covers you until the end of your ISC programme.

Full information about StudyCare insurance is published in the StudyCare policy booklet, available from the International Admissions Centre. Please refer to the back cover of this brochure for contact details.

Alternatively, you can view information about StudyCare at: www.surrey.ac.uk/isc

Arrivals DayOn Arrivals Day you will be greeted by ‘Freshers Angels’ (our student helpers) who help you find your way around and provide a friendly and welcoming point of contact. This helps settle you in very quickly, as from your first day you are immersed in our friendly campus environment.

Senior Residents or Mentors are appointed within our student residences, and can give you the benefit of their experience at the University to ensure you have an enjoyable time.

They play an important part in generating our community atmosphere.

Student CareWe hope you remain happy, well and healthy throughout your time at university. However, should you need it, we offer extensive services to support you.

Student AdviceThe Student Advice team can offer information and advice on a range of issues.

Student Profile

Ya Sirra Basiru Njai – GambiaEngineering, Science and Mathematics Foundation, leading to BEng Telecommunications Systems

The Foundation course was challenging at the start, but it has been good preparation for undergraduate study as it includes assignments, individual study and teamwork. The teachers are amazing and are always there to help.

Being at the International Study Centre allows you to socialise and get to know other people’s cultures. It is a place of both fun and learning.

“I wanted to study engineering and the University of Surrey is ranked one of the best.”


The Pre-Masters prepares international students for the demands of a taught Masters degree in Economics at the University of Surrey.

The course provides a fully supported learning environment and will give you the language training, study and research skills and the academic knowledge you will need to progress to a Masters in Economics from the University of Surrey.

This course is right for you if:• You have studied to an equivalent level of

an UK undergraduate second year course in a related subject (e.g. an Advanced Diploma in Economics, Engineering, Science or Mathematics)

• You have an undergraduate degree but your academic grade or English (or both) are below that accepted for direct entry to the Masters programme

• You have an undergraduate degree with excellent results and your English is strong but you are not confident you have the study and research skills needed for a one year Masters programme at a top UK university.

Studying Economics at SurreyThe School of Economics has a strong international reputation for research in key areas of Economics including Macroeconomics, Energy Economics, Industrial Organisation, Health, Labour Economics, Law and Economics and Econometrics and also enjoys a number of active multidisciplinary research opportunities. Many staff members are active as economic advisors to government and prestigious international organisations including the IMF, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and HM Treasury.

Pre-Masters in Economics Pre-Masters

Progression to your degreeOnce you have successfully completed the programme and achieved the required grades you will progress to one of the following Masters degrees of your choice within the School of Economics:

• MSc Economics• MSc Energy Economics and Policy • MSc International Economics,

Finance and Development • MSc Business Economics and Finance

Surrey Economics graduates have gone on to follow careers as economists in the energy industry, multinational enterprises, financial institutions, development agencies and in government departments. Others have wished to develop their research skills further by taking a PhD degree, and a number have gone on to academic positions around the world.

Economics is related to ‘real world’ problems and the courses at Surrey teach the skills that are required of practicing economists. If you enjoy problem solving and thinking clearly about domestic and international contemporary issues, these programmes will be of interest to you.


In Term 1, students on the three-term Pre-Masters will study three modules: English and Skills for University Study 1, Improved Reading and Academic Vocabulary and Academic Business English Skills.

Students joining in Term 2 for the two-term Pre-Masters will study English and Skills for University Study 2 and 3 with students from Term 1, as well as 6 academic modules in terms 2 and 3.

ModulesEnglish Skills for University Study 1 (three-term students only), 2 and 3Develop your communication skills and learn a range of study skills, including: writing and reading strategies, presentation and seminar participation, organisation of time and materials meeting deadlines and responding to feedback.

When you have completed these modules, you will be able to take notes and write essays in English. You should also have the confidence to give presentations, answer follow-up questions and contribute to seminar discussions.

Improving Reading and Academic VocabularyReading academic texts can be difficult – this module will make it easier. It will improve your understanding of academic words and help you use them in your own work.

Academic Business English SkillsEnhance your English skills by focusing on a range of contemporary issues such as globalisation, the environment, business ethics, team work and business communications.

Introduction to EconomicsYou will learn about the economic theories and systems you need to analyse information relevant to economic problems and issues.
