About the Scholarship:
The University of Surrey is a prestigious university in the English town of Guildford. This public research university was established in 1966 after receiving a royal charter, but its origins can be traced back to 1891, when the Battersea Polytechnic Institute was founded. This institute began focusing on science and technology in 1920, and it was designated as a ‘College of Advanced Technology’ in 1956. The following year, it was renamed Battersea College of Technology. The decision to relocate the college to Guildford was made in 1962. The Robbins Report proposed in 1963 that Battersea College expand its wings and become a full-fledged university.
In 2016, the university celebrated its 125th anniversary and was named University of the Year in The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016. The university is divided into two campuses, one in Stag Hill and one in Manor Park. The Manor Park campus was established in response to space constraints at their flagship Stag Hill campus. The Manor Park campus also houses student housing, Surrey Sports Park, and the School of Veterinary Medicine. Furthermore, the university’s Surrey Research Park, which was established in 1985, houses over 100 firms employing nearly 2500 people. The University of Surrey is divided into three faculties, which are further subdivided into 22 schools and departments. The three faculties are the faculties of arts and social sciences, engineering and physical sciences, and health and medical sciences. Furthermore, in order to assist the faculties, the university has established two related departments (department of higher education and department of technology-enhanced learning). Surrey International Institute-DUFE (SII-DUFE) was established in China in 2006 through a collaboration between the university and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics. To reach a wider range of students, the university offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a variety of fields. Furthermore, it provides research courses in a variety of disciplines such as chemistry, creative writing, clinical psychology, computer science, economics, English literature, law, politics, and physics. Scholarships and bursaries are available to international students at the university. Students can also enroll in university-based continuing professional development/short courses. The University of Surrey provides career opportunities in a variety of fields such as research, teaching, operational and professional services, and technical and experimental research.
The university has a large network of alumni from various fields. Ann Keen (Labour Member of Parliament), Kay Swinburne (Conservative Member of the European Parliament), Hassan Diab (Lebanese Education Minister), Rilwan Lanre Babalola (Nigerian Cabinet Minister), Tony Attwood (psychologist), Susan Blackmore (parapsychologist), Nigel Williams (radio presenter), Sarah Tan (broadcaster), and Behrouz Afagh are among the notable names (BBC executive). Aside from natural beauty, the county of Surrey has some excellent educational institutions, one of which is the University of Surrey. The Battersea Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1891 before becoming known as the University of Surrey. By 1956, the Polytechnic’s reputation had grown to the point where it was designated as a college of advanced technology. Finally, in 1957, it was renamed the Battersea College of Technology. Due to its outstanding academic work, the College was elevated to the status of a university in 1963, following the proposal of the Robbins Report. Surrey University has a number of joint academic partnerships. It has a joint venture called the Surrey International Institute –DUFE with the Dongbei University of Finance and Economics in Dalian (SII-DUFE).
