Every year, we celebrate One World Week in partnership with the University, student societies, and the wider community. The week is designed in order to celebrate and showcase the many cultures, traditions, and global perspectives that make Surrey such a unique and inclusive place to study.

What makes One World Week so great, is that each year the events change, so there is always a whole host of things for you to get involved in. From food and fashion to music, dance and the opportunity to meet new people and share joined cultural experiences, there is something for everyone during this week of celebration.
