The sports facilities are mostly excellent but the pools could be bigger and the sports hall and squash courts need updating.

MRes Advanced Biological Sciences

University rating (5)

The best aspect of the university is its inclusiveness and overall collectiveness and community you get when you’re a part of the university and even after you have left I have seen previous alumni and staff being an active part of the community works present over here and participate in their respective events.

PhD Computer Science

University rating (3)

The University of Exeter offers world-class research, high-quality teaching, and strong industry connections, making it an excellent place to study. Its beautiful campuses, modern facilities, and supportive international community enhance the student experience. The university ranks highly in student satisfaction and employability, providing great career opportunities. However, areas for improvement include reducing living costs, increasing scholarships, expanding mental health support, and offering more flexible course options. These enhancements would make Exeter an even better place for students.

Lovely university with a lot of natural open space with amazing support services. It's very hilly, though.

MPhil Palestine Studies

University rating (5)

The best aspects break down two points. The first thing is the harmonic settings between natural and artificial aspect. The second thing is warm-hearted help from the Exeter Guild assistants. The trouble from me will be improved by them with warmed mentality. The worst aspect is about purchasing some useful electronic tools, such as UK phone recharger plug. It was somewhat doable for me to find phone recharger cables in the Uni market, yet not the plug. For international students who have not used the UK plug in their countries may get trouble in use the recharging service in the University.

Flexible Combined Honours - BA (Hons)/BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

Exeter is a great community, particularly if you are interested in Sports/societies and like getting involved in group activities. The academic support system is poor, however.

The best thing is that everyone is always very keen to help you and you never feel left alone. The worst thing is probably the distance from town.
