Returning after your placement

Welcoming you back

Your academic department/school, the Placements team and MySurrey Hive will work together to make your return to campus an enjoyable and reassuring experience. You will be invited to attend a series of returner events where you can re-connect with your fellow students.

Your feedback is important to us

We strongly encourage you to complete the formal Professional Training Returner’s Survey. This gives you a chance to let us know how things went for you, provide suggestions for scheme improvements, and of course any highlights you are particularly proud of.

The Placements team use this survey to make continuous improvements to all aspects of the Professional Training experience, so please look out for emails requesting your participation. The Digital Badge for Professional Training is just one example of an initiative sparked by responses to this survey.

Support for your studies

As you adjust back into university life and your studies, it is worth taking the time to revisit the resources and support available via the Library.

The My Learning Development at Surrey module on SurreyLearn offers online resources to refresh and enhance your academic skills in areas such as maths, statistics, writing and referencing. Here, you will also find links to meet with the Academic Skills and Development team and/or Maths and Statistics Advice team, who can offer advice and guidance on developing your academic or numerical skills either by attending a drop-in session or booking an appointment.

Share your knowledge - gain new skills

The Professional Training Coaching Scheme connects students returning from their Professional Training year with students preparing for Professional Training. Find out how to become a coach.

Accommodation

We expect students to find accommodation in the private sector for their final year, in line with the University’s accommodation policy.
