Guildford

The University of Surrey is based in Guildford, the historical and vibrant county town of Surrey. It has all the amenities of a city yet remains small enough to explore and enjoy easily. Amongst the streets and lanes around the cobbled High Street, there is a wealth of history to discover, making it an ideal setting for learning.
