Student Profile(s)

Antonia Richards Evans

"My course at Surrey equipped me with the research background - both theoretical and practical - I needed to have a headstart in the market research industry."

Antonia Richards Evans is a Reputation Researcher, and studied for an MSc International Relations.

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

Surrey was a well-regarded university with a good ranking position. I instantly liked the Politics Department and atmosphere of the campus and Surrey offered the course I wanted to pursue.

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

The staff in the Politics Department and the amazing friendships I formed here.

What were the best things about your course?

The course was broad and there were a lot of different modules to choose from, allowing us to specialise in a specific area of politics. The assessments and seminars helped me develop my ability to form well-founded arguments and the ability to question and evaluate accepted knowledge.

What do you do now and what do you find most enjoyable about your line of work?

I work in reputation research, where I help clients measure their corporate reputations by developing and delivering comprehensive stakeholder opinion research. What I find most enjoyable is the methodical nature developing research programmes, whose results are then used to make a real difference to a company's business strategy.

How did you decide what career to go into? How did your time at Surrey help you to decide?

My course at Surrey equipped me with the research background - both theoretical and practical - I needed to have a headstart in the market research industry. The personal development I underwent through my course at Surrey has also given me a great deal of confidence in my ability to manage my own workload, contribute new ideas and to be a reliable team member.

Scholarships

TECHNE (AHRC) Studentships

As a member of the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership, University of Surrey students are eligible to apply for Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships (stipend and fee waiver). TECHNE is a consortium of seven universities in London and the South East offering a rich and diverse training programme for doctoral students with a focus on interdisciplinarity and developing career potential both in and beyond higher education. Studentships are awarded by TECHNE to the best students put forward by its member universities. The TECHNE training programme is enhanced by input and placement opportunities provided by TECHNE’s 13 partner organisations (including the Barbican, Natural History Museum, Museum of London, BFI and Science Museum) in the cultural sector. Please visit TECHNE to find out more about the aims and opportunities of TECHNE.

TECHNE – the Consortium is named in reference to the Greek term for craft – will create a new model for collaborative research skills training for PGR students across seven higher education institutions (Royal Holloway, Brighton University, Kingston University, Roehampton University, Royal College of Art, University of Surrey, University of the Arts London). TECHNE’s vision is to produce scholars who are highly motivated and prepared for academic, public or professional life. Students will benefit from a diversity of training opportunities and be able to draw on supervisory expertise from across the Consortium.

It is not possible to apply directly to TECHNE for a studentship; applications for students wishing to be based at Surrey must be made via the University of Surrey. Your TECHNE application will therefore go through a two-stage process, being considered firstly by either the School of Arts or the School of English and Languages, to go forward to TECHNE and, if successful, secondly by a panel of subject specialists from TECHNE members.
