UNIVERSITY OF SURREY

Surrey Broad Based Engineering

Headstart at Surrey involves Chemical, Civil, Electronic, Materials and Mechanical Engineering, with Environmental, Biomedical, Satellite and Aerospace Engineering for good measure. The course aims, through lectures and hands-on activities in most areas, to allow you to discover what engineering is all about and to find out what a rewarding career it offers. You will -

• Spend half a day in each of the main areas - in laboratories, on design or on projects as well as a topical lecture
• Visit a local company or industrial research laboratory
• Explore an up-to-the-minute research topic and then give a presentation on it
• Meet staff and former students to get inside information and find out about their experiences

Time will be made available to taste student life both at work and leisure and there will be opportunities for organised leisure activities or just for socialising.  

Surrey will feature the 'Dragonfly' module for girls - an extra day as described on the website News Page.
