What our students say
"Exeter has a fantastic astrophysics department, full of leading experts, and access to some brilliant technology. It’s really exciting to know you’re learning from some of the world’s experts in a field that you’re studying and that you’re so passionate about. The campus is beautiful, I love how many little hidden gems are tucked away all throughout it. As a city, I think it’s a great place to live. There’s greenery everywhere, all the shops are within walking distance and the beach is only a short train ride away."
