Excellence in teaching
Exeter has one of the highest National Student Survey rankings in the country and has been in the top 10 since the survey began. In 2010 we scored in the top 10 for teaching, academic support, personal development, and overall satisfaction.*
Nineteen of our subjects are in the top 10 nationally according to The Times or Guardian 2011 rankings.
These results confirm our commitment to high quality teaching and student support as demonstrated in national quality audits, and validates what students have unofficially said about the University of Exeter for a long time: that it offers excellent teaching, top quality learning resources and is a great place to develop both personal and academic skills in a vibrant international context.
At Exeter we ensure that the teaching and support we offer provides you with the essential skills needed to enhance your experience with us and to boost your employability after graduation. As part of this commitment we understand the importance of offering you the right type of contact with the right people at the right time throughout the year. This contact when you need it involves a wide variety of experiences from large lectures to one-to-one tutorials.
*based on the average percentage of positive responses across all survey categories for full service universities (ie, excludes specialist colleges).
One of the most positive aspects of my time at Exeter so far has been the high quality of the lecturers. They are enthusiastic and well versed in their area of research and this makes study of the subject intellectually challenging and rewarding.
