Last edited on 30 Mar 2026
The University of Surrey is a public research university located within the county town of Guildford, Surrey, in the South East of England, United Kingdom.
The university specialises in science, engineering, medicine and business. It received its charter on 9 September 1966, and was previously situated near Battersea Park in south-west London. The institution was known as Battersea College of Technology before gaining university status. Its roots, however, go back to the Battersea Polytechnic Institute, founded in 1891 to provide further and higher education for London’s poorer inhabitants. More recently, the university launched the Surrey International Institute with Dongbei University of Finance and Economics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Surrey
