I really appreciate that it's a great place for distance learning. Although the campus is lovely, there's also no need to be there and distance study is well supported and accepted if the subject matter allows it.

For me the contact with my supervisors has been excellent. I need to put in the effort to reach out to them, and sometimes remind them of admin roles that I need them to do, but when we do talk it's always inspiring and I come away with a clear to-do list.

I have enjoyed my time whilst being in The University of Exeter, there are constant activities from the Student Guild and there isn’t a day which is mundane. There is very little I could say which could be improved apart from in my specific department, to centralise the administrative tasks within the Islamic and Arabic institute and not a separate building which is Peter Chalk, it confuses many things such as who to contact regarding an essay extension. Apart from that pet peeve there is nothing else which I can provide constructive criticism on.

As a student doing Islamic studies who wants to specialise in Islamic philosophy I wish there was more content on Islamic philosophy and not Middle Eastern geopolitical modules. I think such modules should be optional and not mandatory as it places students such as myself at a disadvantage when it comes to essay writing as I’m used to writing about intellectual history and philosophy, not geopolitics.
