Summer opportunities
There are four types of summer opportunities offered and assisted by the University of Surrey:

- Summer volunteering with Surrey partners abroad

Summer opportunities normally last between one to eight weeks and are a way to experience studying, volunteering or working abroad with students from all over the world. All summer opportunities are not credit bearing and are for experience only.
