" I love studying at Exeter because there is such a strong community feel. There is always a friendly and warm atmosphere on campus. The flexibility of the course is amazing! Being able to choose modules from different departments and even outside of science allows for such an interesting learning experience."
Natasha, from the UK, studying BSc Natural Sciences
"The positivity of the lecturers in relation to Natural Sciences and the potential progression at the University caused me to choose Exeter over other institutions. In first year, you experience a range of styles of teaching; people tending to identify with and prefer the methods of some lecturers over others, but which lecturers tend to vary by student. Overall, the lecturers for Natural Sciences seem to genuinely want to teach us, and want to learn from us in the discussion that inevitably develops in lectures."
Oli, from the UK, studying MSci Natural Sciences
