Campus was beautiful, friendships were amazing. I also enjoyed my studies as my teachers were great professionals with exceptional teaching skills.
The University Business School has a very good reputation. The student affairs team was very good. The campus was amazing."

"I chose Exeter because of the globally renowned staff. The thing I enjoyed most about studying at the University is beautiful Exeter/ Devon, probably the best place in the world.
