What our students say
"The years spent studying in Exeter have been the best years of my life. I was able to make friends that turned into family and become more independent.
Studying with students from all around the world means you get to learn about different cultures and how they think about the same topic differently. Through this experience, I have been able to develop my communication skills a lot more and have learnt to be more confident about the choices I make and the actions I take."
Ananya from India studying BA Management with Marketing
"For somebody who is thinking of coming to the University of Exeter, I would say not to think twice. The experience is going to be incredible. There is a lot of support within the University, and the environment is very vibrant and lively. We have a lot of groups that are sports groups or maybe groups of other activities that you are interested in that you can participate in. There's also a lot of support on the teaching front."
