Hiya! I'm Cat, a current Adult Nursing student in my second year at the University of Surrey.

Gurtaran
University of Surrey
Civil Engineering MEng (Hons)
Hi! I’m Taran, a Civil Engineering MEng student at the University of Surrey. I have completed a year in industry, having gained experience through a placement year and summer placements at large engineering consultancies. These opportunities have helped me understand what civil engineering looks like in practice, especially within the water and infrastructure sectors, and confirmed my interest in building a strong technical career after graduation.
I’m particularly interested in how civil engineering projects shape communities and manage real-world challenges like flooding, sustainability, and infrastructure resilience. At university, I’ve enjoyed the balance between technical problem-solving and practical, software-based coursework, and I’ve learned a lot about managing workload, exams, and placements alongside personal goals.
I know choosing a degree (and a university) can feel overwhelming, so I’m happy to chat about civil engineering, placements, the MEng route, student life at Surrey, or anything else you’re unsure about. Feel free to message me — I’m always happy to help!

Outside of coding and algorithms, I’m a big believer in a healthy work-life balance! You’ll usually find me at the gym, playing badminton, practicing my guitar, or grinding a new video game. I also love making the most of the social side of uni life and going out with friends.
