New postgraduate students
Welcome to the Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy
You can find induction information and useful links for your department below:
Congratulations on securing your place to study at the University of Exeter Business School! We will do everything we can to make your time with us both successful and enjoyable.
Your academic induction
Ahead of your arrival, please complete your online pre-arrival induction which will be available on Learn.Exeter via this page; your welcome email will also include an invitation link. The induction is full of important information and advice about your studies and life as a student here. It also contains activities and forums so you can start to get to know other students even before you start your course.
Your programme may contain optional modules in the year ahead, and if so you will need to go to Online Module Selection (OMS) to choose them. We encourage you to explore this as early as possible, and more information can be found here.
Learn more about your course, and meet key staff and other new students at programme-specific welcome events by the Business School. When you have your IT account, your on-campus induction sessions will appear in My Timetable, but you can also check details below. Your Programme Director may also have arranged additional events so please look for information in emails, your timetable and our pre-arrival induction.

There is a Quiet Hour scheduled for the Academic Welcome Fair at 9:30-10:30 for students who would benefit from visiting without the crowds and accompanying noise. This will not show in your timetable, so if you would prefer to attend during this time, please remember to make a note of it.
Reading list
We don’t expect you to complete specific reading in advance for your course, though you are welcome to be reading widely.
Basic reading lists for each module can be found in the module descriptors. All recommended reading should be available through the university library.
Access to IT equipment on campus
All the software you need to successfully complete your geography degree at Exeter will be available to you in our specialist computer labs in the Hatherly building, or from elsewhere on campus using the virtual desktop. However, we know that many students choose to purchase personal IT equipment such as a laptop before beginning their degree.
If you are buying a new computer for university:
If you are considering purchasing IT equipment it is recommended that you choose a Microsoft Windows laptop to ensure you get the best experience using the geography software that you will encounter. Not all of the Geography software will install successfully on a Mac.
Don’t worry if you already have a Mac and don’t want to get a new machine – you can still access all the software you need on our computers on campus or you can access most software through our virtual desktop. It may also be possible to install a Windows partition on your Mac using BootCamp. We have staff who can help you with this.
If you are purchasing new equipment, there is a really wide range of models to choose from. It’s your personal choice of what machine to get, but if you would like something that will allow you to use the majority of software you will encounter on this course, we would advise that you consider a machine with:
- At least 512GB - 1TB of storage
- At least 8GB of RAM
- Screen Resolution of no less than 1920 x 1080 pixels
- Intel i5 Processor
- A high-quality Graphics Card
Support with costs:
If you need financial support to help you with costs of IT equipment, you can read about what support might be available to you on our Success for All webpages.
As we mentioned above, don’t worry if you choose not to purchase a laptop – you can still use the computers on campus or the virtual desktop.

Welcome to the University of Exeter. We are absolutely delighted you have chosen to join us here, and we will do everything we can to make sure your time here is both enjoyable and educational. The subject of mathematics lies right at the core of human endeavour: not only is it an intellectual challenge itself but it also provides the language of the sciences, and increasingly, many of the social sciences.

We hope you find new friends, have a great time and also work hard to achieve your degree.
