It would be useful for you to look at the material supplied by the University Library on general skills such as referencing and technical writing, as these will be invaluable to you throughout your degree and in future careers.
If you wish to purchase a computer/laptop, be aware that many engineering software packages work best on Windows computers.
It’s not all hard work! We hope you will take full advantage of the wide range of societies, sports teams, and events at the University of Surrey. Find many of these at the Surrey Students’ Union Activity Zone. You will also have a great opportunity to find out about clubs and societies at the Freshers’ Fair during Welcome Week.
Recommended reading
You do not need to purchase any textbooks for your studies. All required resources are available electronically and/or physically through the University Library. If you still wish to purchase textbooks, we recommend you wait until you have started your studies and discuss this with the relevant module leaders who can advise you.
Accreditation
Biomedical Engineering programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). You can explore the biomedical engineering-related content from our accrediting bodies following the links provided below:
