What kind of things can I do at university?

In the video you will hear from Maria Vasileva, a student at the University of Surrey, who has spent her one-year Professional Training Placement working on Surrey University’s Employability Award. Maria talks about the kinds of extra-curricular activities that are available at university, as well as the benefits of being proactive.
