Psychology BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The facilities are fantastic and make campus study really convenient and accessible. For psychology in particular, the optional modules are much more open to personal direction than I have seen at other unis so it is easier to focus on your interests.

Accounting and Finance with Industrial Experience BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Studying at the University of Exeter is amazing! One of the best things about being here is the peaceful student city. Compared to other big cities like London and Manchester, Exeter is much quieter, which makes it an ideal environment to focus on your studies. If you're looking to explore beyond the city, you can easily take a direct train to London or a quick train to Exmouth for a weekend getaway. In addition, the quality of education at Exeter is top-notch. The professors are knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about their subjects, which makes learning here a truly rewarding experience. With a strong reputation as one of the top universities in the UK, you can trust that you're getting an excellent education. The only downside is the timetabling team could be more flexible when it comes to scheduling lectures and seminars, but this is a minor complaint when you take into account all the other amazing things that the university has to offer. Overall, I would highly recommend the University of Exeter to anyone looking for an outstanding place to study. The teachers are great, the extracurricular activities are diverse and engaging, and the campus facilities are modern and well-maintained. So if you're considering studying at Exeter, go for it!

Liberal Arts with Study Abroad BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Plenty of purpose built student accommodation on campus and in area. Easy access to town centre and shops, even easier just to order. Library online access great too (but probably not Exeter specific). Most staff very good, such as in my core module and philosophy, some staff amazing such as in my Japanese and Politics. Accommodation internet not bad, usually works well.

Psychology BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

There’s great study spaces on campus, just not really specifically for psychology and it’s hard to find a seat to study in the psychology building. More support from staff would be great because sometimes it feels like you’re totally left to your own devices. The content is mostly interesting and campus is great. Student accommodation is also good

Exeter has everything you need in walking distance - city centre, uni campus, supermarkets, the quay, and beaches a short train ride away.

PhD Biological Sciences

University rating (4)

Great location - Exeter is a lovely student-friendly city and is ideally located for short weekend getaways. The campus itself is beautiful and spacious. The weather here is also pleasant - quite mild during both winter and summer. From my experience, the university is really welcoming and supportive of international students. High quality education and facilities. Lots of things to do, including a variety of student unions to join.

Mathematics BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

The campus is in a great location being distinct from the town but only a short-ish walk away. There are lots of really nice different pubs dotted around but the night-life in general is not particularly great.

Sociology and Anthropology BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I specifically chose Exeter for its more up to date approach to Sociology and Anthropology and the breadth of modules they offer for both courses, which cover a lot of different subjects and things that are relevant to our times I have also enjoyed the diverse range of study places on and off-campus, although some spaces on campus can be a bit noisy
