Vanessa
MEd Tesol
"I decided to come to the University of Exeter because it was the only university that offered me such a great variety of optional modules so I could study what I am really passionate about. Having the Colfuturo-Ayudar scholarship means I do not have worry about having a part-time job or paying for accommodation, food, etc. It means I can focus on my studies, extracurricular activities and travelling."

Ana Lucia
PhD Anthropology
"As a PhD student, my supervisors were the main reason to come to study to the University of Exeter. Both of them have a lot of experience in my research topic and my principal supervisor has been really supportive during the application process to University and while I am starting my PhD. The University shows concern and care about their students. There is always someone or an online resource you can use in order to understand or figure it out what you need."

Daniel
MSc Applied Data Science (Environment & Sustainability)
"What I liked the most about the University of Exeter and specifically my programme is that it is led and supported by research institutes like the Environment and Sustainability Institute, the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and the Centre for Environmental Mathematics, as well as the facilities, technical and technological resources, and of course the well-qualified academic staff."
Sergio
MSc Exploration Geology
"I enjoy all the facilities you can find on campus. From the comfortable and well-equipped classrooms to the gym, library, and social spaces. I find it interesting to have a pub on the campus. One of the best ways for discussing geology is by drinking a pint with your classmates and professors."
Luisa María
MA Theatre Practice
"What drew me to Exeter was the balance of my course, because it catered to both my needs in the theory and practice-based fields. And seeing that it was very well ranked in my general field helped me confirm that I would be getting a good level of education. Additionally, from researching the University, I could see the University offers a good social life and extra curricular opportunities."
