Hannah, MSc Marketing
"I hadn’t realised how supportive the whole community is here in the Business School and at the University in general! I’ve built such good relationships with my mentors, my tutors and my course mates, and I really believe that makes all the difference when you’re studying as a postgraduate because you can lean on others for advice and support when you’re having an off day!
Overall, the Business School has provided me with an experience that is so much more rewarding than just academics. I’ve had the opportunity to attend one of the top five schools in the UK for my course, have experienced career-focused support, gained skills that will be useful to me for the rest of my life, and have been welcomed into an extremely supportive community and environment. All of this and more is why I would highly recommend the University of Exeter Business School to anyone looking to apply here."
Gowri, MSc Digital Marketing
"I wanted a place that would not only challenge me academically, but also offer an incredible student experience. What I love most about Exeter is its incredible diversity. I found myself surrounded by people from all walks of life, which made for such an enriching experience. It felt like a little world within itself, with students from my hometown and amazing individuals from different cultural backgrounds. I’ve grown so much as a person because of it.
I’ve thrown myself into university life. Being the Academic Rep for Business and Management has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to be a voice for my course mates. Another wonderful thing that drew me to Exeter is the insane number of societies (300+!) you can join. I am part of the Women in Business society – from company events where I got to meet with industry leaders to workshops where I interacted with such confident, empowered women, I learned so much. I’ve particularly enjoyed the Debating Society sessions that teach you so much about the world! I love how the campus feels like a community, yet it’s big enough to offer endless opportunities."

"At the University of Exeter, we will never be on our own when it comes to studying. The University offers a bunch of support resources tailored to help us succeed academically, from study support to pastoral care and advice. Each student will get a personal tutor from the faculty too. These tutors are there to help you navigate everything from your first days at university to planning your future career moves.
Exeter is fantastic at providing a strong support network that helps keep students balanced and safe. the Wellbeing Services are a real standout. They’ve got it all – from one-on-one counselling sessions to a bunch of resources like podcasts, workshops, and evening group meetings. The team is super approachable and really committed to helping you succeed not just academically, but in all aspects of your health. Plus, they offer a 24/7 support line during term time!"
Daylyn, MA Publishing
"If there is one big takeaway I have from my first term here, it’s this: at the University of Exeter, everyone can find what they love, and love what they find. From the remarkably green scenery of the university itself to the endless opportunities to get involved in activities both new and familiar, being a student here in Exeter can’t be outmatched.
I graduated from my undergraduate programme back in 2022, so it was a bit daunting to head back into the academic sphere. I was so grateful when I discovered that there is a dedicated support team for postgraduate students. Nervous about payments? Need to chat about taking an extension? The support team can help you figure out the best path to move forward and be successful during your time here at the University of Exeter.
Whether you are a PGT (Postgraduate Taught) or PGR (Postgraduate Research), there is a spot for you in the Postgraduate Society. It feels great to connect with other students who understand the intensity and excitement surrounding your degree, especially in such fun ways. There is no shortage of ways to get involved in the community here in Exeter, no matter what degree you are seeking. Exeter has become my home away from home, and there really is no place quite like it!"
