What our students say
"My course is really broad so in this first year I am mixed with biochemistry and biomedicine students and next year I can choose my modules and specialise in different areas. This is good for me as I already know what I want to do but I don’t want to limit my opportunities. I really like how at Exeter I can explore different areas and learn core content as well as specialising in a certain area.
I have found that many modules that I expected not to like I love, and my lecturers are passionate about what they are teaching and are doing research on it too. I find it very inspiring how they try to involve us in their research and teach us how to do it."
