The society has gained ratification from the University of Surrey as an official society in November 2010.It is building up its structure as a Bruneian representation in Guildford.

The society aims to unite previous, current and future Bruneian students from University of Surrey, and foster a good relationship in supporting each other in social issues, student welfare, academic studies or religious understanding.

Members will be supporting and be actively involved with any festival and national celebration held by the Bruneian Society Union through Brunei High Commission and events held by the University of Surrey.

The society will promote the Bruneian culture, customs and tradition and demonstrate multicultural value of Bruneian people internationally.

With its excellent academic reputation and fantastic student life, University of Surrey has become one of the top universities of choices for those Bruneian students whom like to further their studies abroad.
