Student Profile

Sina Zavertha

Sina Zavertha works as a Junior Economist in London, providing market insight, intelligence and consultancy for high profile clients in various sectors of the economy.

What attracted you to choose the University of Surrey and to study your course here?

When I started looking for the university in which I would spend my last year as a student I had two things in mind: to find a place that could prepare me properly education-wise, and to be a place in which I would have fun.

The University of Surrey combines both, as it is a high-level educational institute, and an inspirational and beautiful place to live in. Moreover, it is only 30 minutes away from London for the days that you want something different.

What is your strongest memory of your time at Surrey – what do you picture first when you think of being here?

The first thing coming to mind is spending time with my friends either for fun or studying near the lake. When you share studying hours with friends in an environment away from the library or your room, it is amusing and productive.

What is the one thing you would say about Surrey, or the course you studied, to someone who doesn’t know anything about it?

Surrey is collaborating with high profile organizations and companies. I would suggest if you have career perspectives especially for the UK, try to seize the opportunities offered at university to attend conferences, careers fairs and events. The sooner you realize what you want to do next the better.

How did you change as a person during your time as a Surrey student, and how has your time here influenced your life and career since then?

You inevitably change and take things more seriously when you are closer to graduation. My one year at Surrey helped me understand the career I wanted to follow and prepare myself properly for it by attending networking opportunities and academic seminars beyond the compulsory lectures.

What career have you gone into after graduating? What do you find most enjoyable about your line of work and why?

I work as Junior Economist at a London-based company which provides market insight, intelligence and consultancy for high profile clients in various sectors of the economy.
