What our students say
"I think the best thing about the programme is that it is so wide-ranging. Even though my course is completely sociology, I have actually done some anthropology and criminology too which has been really good fun. I love living in Exeter. I love that everything is so walkable, and it is easy to get home and to campus. I think it makes it feel a bit safer as you don’t have to get buses and taxis everywhere and knowing you can walk home after a night out is quite nice. I have really loved my experience here."
