Personal tutor support and close contact with academic staff who are leaders in their field
"When I first started at Exeter Law School, I was really nervous about my exams because English is not my first language and the UK law school writing was new to me too. Luckily, INTO offers free tutorials in legal English for international students like me. These sessions really helped me improve my English writing and reading skills.
Living in Exeter is super safe. There is a 24/7 campus patrol. I often studied in the library late into the night, but I never felt unsafe walking back home in the city centre alone."
"I feel very lucky to have studied at Exeter, where I have learned both law and business in depth, including the differences and connections between the two fields. It has been an enriching year that has made me want to discover more possibilities.
Due to my lack of legal foundation before entering the Masters degree, I was confused about writing at the beginning of the course, but I actively asked questions to teachers and classmates and gradually solved small problems one by one."
