According to the figures revealed by the Higher Education Statistics Agency 2013/14, the University of Surrey has the fourth most bewildering rate of graduates entering occupation and/or further study within six months of graduation at 96.9% (behind Lancaster University, Robert Gordon University and Arts University Bournemouth) — higher than the University of Oxford (92.6%) and the University of Cambridge (95.2%).

The University of Surrey was gone before by the Battersea Polytechnic Institute which was built up in 1891 and yielded its first understudies in 1894. Its focuses were to give more foremost access to further and propelled training for a bit of the "poorer inhabitants" of London.

In 1901, Evening Classes contained a bit of the going with; Mechanical Engineering and Building, Electrical Engineering, Chemical and distinctive Trades, Physics and Natural Science, Maths, Languages, and Commercial subjects, Music. Extraordinary classes for Women in Domestic Economy subjects. Day Classes in Art, Science, Women's subjects and Gymnastics. Classes in preparation for University and Professional

In 1956, the Institute was among the first to get the task "School of Advanced Technology" and was renamed Battersea College of Technology. By the begin of the sixties, the College had fundamentally outgrown its working in Battersea and had moved to Guildford. Despite this, the Robbins Report of 1963 suggested that the Colleges of Advanced Technology, including Battersea, should develop and get the chance to be degree-respecting universities.

On 9 September 1966 the University of Surrey was set up by Royal Charter and by 1970 the move from Battersea to Guildford was done.

Early visitors to the new grounds were Led Zeppelin, who performed their first gig at the school on 25 October 1968.

Some place around 1982 and 2008, the school transformed into the trustee of the working of the Guildford Institute, using parts of the working for its adult preparing program advancement giving a school proximity in the heart of Guildford.

Consistently, there has been solidified contention amidst Surrey and Kingston for the Varsity Cup, that has made both schools primary enemies at the Games.

The school conducts wide examination on little satellites, with its Surrey Space Center and kill business association, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. In the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, the University of Surrey got a 5* rating in the groupings of "Humanism", "Distinctive Studies and Professions Allied to Medicine", and "Electrical and Electronic Engineering" and a 5 rating in the classes of "Mind exploration", "Material science", "Associated Mathematics", "Estimations and Operational Research", "European Studies", and "Russian, Slavonic and East European Languages".

The new 5G Innovation Center (5GIC) at the University of Surrey has expanded over £40m support from overall data exchanges associations including Aeroflex, AIRCOM International, BBC, BT Group, EE (data exchanges association), Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe, Huawei, Ofcom, Rohde and Schwarz, Samsung, Telefonica and Vodafone – and a further £11.6m from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).

Besides, Surrey Research Park is a 28 ha (69-segment of area) low thickness change which is had and made by the school, outfitting incomprehensible masterminded regions with water components and workplaces for more than 110 associations involved with an extensive variety of examination, progression and arrangement works out.

Scholastics to work at the school join Alf Adams, pioneer of the strained quantum-well laser; Jim Al-Khalili, the nuclear physicist, maker and broadcaster; Aleks Krotoski, the advancement writer and supporter; Sir Martin Sweeting, writer of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd; and Nigel Gilbert, the humanist pioneer in the use of masters based models in the humanistic systems.

One remarkable academic, who is known for his work in Nanotechnology, is Ravi Silva. Ravi Silva is the present Director of the Advanced Technology Institute at the school. In 2003, he was regarded the Albert Einstein Silver Medal and the Javed Husain Prize by UNESCO for duties to electronic contraptions. The 2011 Clifford Paterson Lecture was given by Silva for his uncommon duties to crucial science and planning in the field of carbon nanos
