Excellent, I met lots of diverse and interesting people. I learnt much about the incredible depth of Physics and saw opportunities to get involved in. I got to further myself by getting involved in societies and help others.

University facilities in the Physics department were excellent. For our dissertation work, the vast array of quality equipment allowed multiple methods to be attempted to optimise the accuracy of our results.

As said, there is excellent academic support. Personally there are ways to obtain the support you may need in times of trouble.

Students union had an excellent set of societies, publicised their events well and were very helpful at the information desk.

Exeter is a city that quickly feels like your city. It is small enough that you rarely took a trip into town without catching up with someone you know. Crucially, however, there were opportunities to get out of the student bubble from time to time, for me this was through church and Jive lessons.

Excellent variety, very enjoyable and inclusive.

What I enjoyed most about my course was the tutorials we had every week. This was a time to, as a group of 5 or so confused students, bring our questions to a dedicated lecturer who would explain the concepts in a different way and help us to understand. When I started utilising this option, was when I started performing well. What I struggled with most was the weekly workload in the first few years. Weekly problem sets were set on subjects I could not yet understand and this left me with an ultimatum, complete the problem sets to a sub-standard or take the time to truly understand the topic. Due to time restrictions, both options were rarely achievable simultaneously.

There existed a very helpful careers department who were always on hand to give helpful information on necessary experience in the career you were striving for. They went above and beyond that and sought out opportunities to obtain this experience. Personally I was sent an email from the Physics department for a summer internship opportunity with Ogden Trust, which I took, and that experience has shaped my future as I am now applying for SCITT with that school. There was also huge support for societies from the university. I was President of the Evangelical Christian Union and through this experience of liaising with the university, I feel I learnt many necessary skills such as time management, organisation and communication.
