Resources for teachers

We have put together a range of useful higher education related resources intended to help teachers help their students progress successfully to the university of their choice.

Online presentations

Applying to the University of Exeter

This short presentation considers the UCAS undergraduate application process including what we hope are useful tips for completing the application form and explains what the University of Exeter is looking for in your application. The presentation is delivered by the Head of Admissions, Ian Blenkharn.

Student finance

A member of the Students’ Guild Advice Unit gives an overview of student finance and the support available to fund your studies. Topics covered include potential expenditure, the types and amounts of support available, how to apply for student finance, as well as an overview of the additional support offered by the University of Exeter. The presentation is delivered by Students’ Guild Student Advisor, Jo Thomas.

Exeter Sport and the Athletic Union

Exeter is one of the leading sporting institutions in the UK and is consistently ranked nationally in the top 10 sporting universities. The sports presentation, delivered jointly by the Sports Office and the Athletic Union, covers facilities, opportunities, scholarships and clubs. The presentation is delivered by Paul Mouland, Sport and Wellness Development Officer and Beth Hampson, Athletic Union President.

Accommodation options at the University of Exeter 

A member of the accommodation team gives details about the accommodation offered by the University for undergraduate students. This includes information about our catered and self-catered residences; services provided and the cost of accommodation. We also explain how and when to apply for accommodation and how we will process your application. The presentation is delivered by Cathy Tupman, of our Accommodation Advisers.

Employability and Graduate Development

Exeter offers an exceptionally wide range of opportunities for students to become more employable and develop the skills employers want. Employability and Graduate Development provides advice and information about graduate careers and develops new project and placement opportunities for our students. The presentation gives you the chance to find out more about all the services on offer and what makes our students employable. This presentation is delivered by Paul Blackmore, Head of Employability and Graduate Development.

Student voices

Current and recent students talk honestly about their reasons for choosing Exeter, the challenges they faced settling in and the support they received, how they manage financially and the wider opportunities they have benefitted from. This 10-minute film is the result of a project with Exeter students from non-selective state schools to understand their experiences at the University.

Session plans

These resources are intended for use by teachers in the classroom with their students. They are based on presentations and workshops delivered in schools and colleges by University of Exeter staff and can be used in full or in part to inform students about HE.

We may be able to provide student ambassadors to support delivery of these sessions, if within reasonable travelling distance.

Becoming a STEM enthusiast - motivations and expectations

These short video clips provide personal testament from students and academic staff about the rewards, challenges and day-to-day experiences of learning and teaching within their STEM disciplines. These video vignettes will enhance the range of resources available to school staff working with students who are thinking of progressing to a STEM subject in higher education as academic staff and current undergraduates share their passion and excitement for their subjects.
