What our students say
"As someone who’d never studied Ancient History before, but came from a place of grassroots interest, studying the course at Exeter was undoubtedly a big jump – but one that has immeasurably changed my life for the better.
Both the sense of community and common interest within the department, as well as the sheer number of available opportunities and student support have ensured that my three years at Exeter have been some of my best, and have given me the tools and skills I need to make the most of the professional world beyond university."
Patrick, from the UK, studying BA Ancient History
