The University of Surrey is a university located within the county town of Guildford, Surrey in the South East of England. 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.[5]

The university is a member of the 1994 Group.[6] The university conducts extensive research on small satellites and has a high number of staff who are members of learned societies. The Research Assessment Exercise 2001 awarded nine departments at the university 5 or 5* ratings.[7] The university has recently expanded into China by launching the Surrey International Institute with Dongbei University of Finance and Economics.[8]

The university's main campus is located on Stag Hill close to the centre of Guildford and adjacent to Guildford Cathedral. A second campus, at Manor Park, is located a short distance away and has been developed to expand upon existing accommodation, academic buildings and sporting facilities.[9]

[edit] History

The University of Surrey was preceded by the Battersea Polytechnic Institute which was founded in 1891 and admitted its first students in 1894. Its aims were to provide greater access to further and higher education for some of the "poorer inhabitants" of London. The Institute focused on science and technology subjects, and from about 1920 taught some classes for University of London students.[10]

In 1956 the Institute was among the first to receive the designation "College of Advanced Technology" and was renamed Battersea College of Technology. By the beginning of the sixties the College had virtually outgrown its building in Battersea and had decided to move to Guildford. In addition to this, the Robbins Report of 1963 proposed that the Colleges of Advanced Technology, including Battersea, should expand and become degree-awarding Universities.[10]

In 1965 the university-designate acquired a greenfield site in Guildford from Guildford Cathedral, Guildford Borough Council and the Onslow Village Trust. The following year, on 9 September 1966 the University of Surrey was established by Royal Charter and by 1970 the move from Battersea to Guildford was complete.[10]

Early visitors to the new campus were Led Zeppelin, who performed their very first gig at the university on 15 October 1968.[11]

In 1982 the university became the trustee of the building of the Guildford Institute and uses parts of the building for its adult education programme which ensures a university presence in the heart of Guildford. The Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (formerly Associated Examining Board) moved from Aldershot to its own headquarters building on the Stag Hill campus in 1985.

The university marked its Silver Jubilee in 1991, an event celebrated by the publishing of Surrey - The Rise of a Modern University by Roy Douglas[5] and by a Service of Thanksgiving in Guildford Cathedral attended by Her Majesty The Queen in March 1992.

The university celebrated its 35th anniversary year in May 2002 with a major event in Guildford Cathedral. It was also marked by the unveiling of the Surrey Scholar sculpture (by Allan Sly FBS) to mark the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen and as a gift to the people of Guildford. The Surrey Scholar is located at the bottom of Guildford High Street. Understanding the Real World, a visual history of the university, by Christopher Pick, was published to coincide with this anniversary.[10]

On 1 July 2005, Prof. Christopher Snowden became Surrey’s fourth Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive. Like his predecessors Prof. Dowling and Prof. Kelly, Prof. Snowden is a fellow of the Royal Society. He was appointed in recognition of his pioneering work in the fields of microwave engineering and compound semiconductors.

In 2007 the university saw a major increase in overall applications by 39% compared with the previous year.[12] This was followed by a further increase in applications of 12% in 2008.[13]

In June 2008, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page was awarded an honorary doctorate by the university for services to the music industry.[14]

In October 2008, the university lost out to Royal Holloway in a bid to merge with London medical institute St George's, University of London.[15]

From September 2009, the Guildford School of Acting became a subsidiary of the university and relocated from Guildford town centre to the university campus.

[edit] Campus

The area around the lake on the main Stag Hill Campus

The university moved in 1968 to a new 30 ha (74-acre) site on Stag Hill in Guildford, Surrey, adjacent to Guildford Cathedral (see picture, below). A further 90 ha (222 acres) allocated to the university remained undeveloped until 2005. The new Manor Park campus, designed as a car-free village, is 1.6 kilometres (1 mi) from the Stag Hill campus and on the other side of the A3 trunk road.[16] It combines residences for students and staff, buildings for research and teaching, and sporting facilities.

The BBC's local radio station for Surrey and North-East Hampshire, BBC Surrey, has its studios on the campus.[17] In addition the university has a student-run medium wave radio station, GU2 Radio (GU2 is the local postcode prefix).

In November 2007, the university was given planning permission to build the Surrey Multifaith Centre at the University of Surrey. This will be the first building in Britain to have a Synagogue, Muslim Prayer Hall, Gurdwara and Chapel built separately under one roof.[18]

In April 2010, a £35 million new sports centre named the Surrey Sports Park opened.[19]

On 8 July 2009, a temporary Amigo convenience store opened in the BB Building on the campus, replacing the previous One Stop store which was situated near the library. The new store is operated by the Compass Group, and will see the University enjoy 'guaranteed rental income and share of turnover'.[20] The project is part of wider work which will see a new building, housing a larger shop and library extension, opening on the One Stop site in April 2011.[21]

In September 2009, the Guildford School of Acting moved into a new purpose built facility on the main Stag Hill campus as part of a stretegic merger between the two organisations. After the opening of the news Surrey Sports Park in April 2010, the old Sports Centre is being converted into further studios and performance space for GSA.

[edit] Academics and alumni

Main article: List of University of Surrey people

[edit] Academics

Academics to work at the university include Alf Adams, pioneer of the strained quantum-well laser;[51] Jim Al-Khalili, the nuclear physicist, author and broadcaster;[52] Aleks Krotoski, the technology journalist and broadcaster;[53] Martin Sweeting, founder of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd;[54] and Nigel Gilbert, the sociologist pioneer in the use of agent-based models in the social sciences.[55] On 20 May 2009, Andreas Mogensen, a researcher at the Surrey Space Centre, was announced as a new member of the European Astronaut Corps, part of the European Space Agency and in doing so, will become the first Danish astronaut.[56] In February 2010, terrorism and Northern Ireland expert Marie Breen Smyth, joined the Politics department, as Chair in International Relations[57]. In March 2005, Breen-Smyth, (then Smyth) gave evidence to the House of Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee Inquiry into Dealing with Northern Ireland's past. Her evidence was based on her work with victims, through the "Cost of the Troubles Study"[58].

[edit] Alumni

Former students of the university (or its predecessor, Battersea Poytechnic) include the designer of the Mini, Sir Alec Issigonis[59] and the founder of the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, Robert Earl.[60] The vice chancellor of York St John University, Dianne Willcocks[61] and the chancellor of Edge Hill University, Tanya Byron[62] both studied at the university. Other alumni include MP Sir George Young,[63] Dame Linda Dobbs,[64] and David Varney, former chairman of HM Revenue and Customs.[65] The television and radio broadcasters, Jeremy Kyle[66] and Toby Anstis[67] are also alumni of the university. The author Graham Jones (English author) is also a graduate of the University of Surrey. Composer and conductor Odaline de la Martinez, who became the first woman to conduct at a BBC Proms concert, received her MMus in composition in 1977. The musician Starsmith graduated from the university in 2009.[68]

[edit] Educational links

Since its foundation, the university has fostered links with other educational bodies in the local community and region. For example, in recent years it has validated courses at and subsequently accredited Saint Mary's College (now an independent institution called St Mary's University College, Twickenham),[69] Wimbledon School of Art,[70] and Farnborough College of Technology.[71] The university currently validates courses at North East Surrey College Of Technology (NESCOT), Guildford School of Acting, Guildford College of Further & Higher Education, King Edward VII Hospital Department of Staff Development, The Nuclear Department at HMS Sultan, St John's Seminary, Southern Theological Education & Training Scheme (STETS), the Pre-Retirement Association and SHL (UK) Ltd.[72]

In 1998, as a result of the continuing development in the relationship between the university and the nearby Roehampton Institute, it was decided to form an academic federation. In November 1999, the Privy Council approved the necessary changes to the university's Charter and Statutes and the Roehampton Institute became The University of Surrey Roehampton at the beginning of 2000. Between 2000 and 2004, the university and Roehampton worked together as the Federal University of Surrey.[73] In June 2004, the Privy Council granted Roehampton an independent university title, and it became Roehampton University from 1 August 2004. This move ended the federal partnership between the two institutions, although collaboration between the two is being maintained.[74]

In 2007, the university and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, Dalian, China launched the Surrey International Institute, DUFE.[75] SII, DUFE offers Surrey degrees and dual-degree programmes in China.[8] A placement year link with University of North Carolina is currently being initiated in 2009, where each institution places students from the other with companies located near by, in the South East of England and the Carolinas, respectively.

[edit] International partners

The university holds a number of formal links with institutions from around the world to share teaching and research and facilitate staff and student exchanges.
