This leaflet is designed to inform you about the various sources of experience you can get alongside your degree, as well as identifying how work you may already have undertaken – even if it doesn’t seem relevant to your graduate career goals – will have developed your transferable skills.
Read on for some useful tips, whether you have current experience, or are wondering how to gain experience while studying at Surrey.
Did you know that part-time work, summer internships, volunteering or Professional Training placements are all activities that can contribute to the Surrey Professional Skills Award?
