University of Exeter - UOE Speciality : History
programme: History and Archaeology

Having done my undergraduate at Exeter in History and Archaeology and now a PhD there, I have had a mixed experience. The teaching is very good though support is sometimes lacking. I enjoyed being combined between two subjects but this does come with added complications. There is a lot of flexibility for study even within single honours. There are lots of opportunities for career development, the career services are excellent. Also for extracurriculars through societies. The campus is very nice and there are many good facilities though there is a clear favouring towards the subjects prioritised by the university. The general student experience can be very mixed, the nightlife can be good but is not as varied as in a larger city. The city and wider area provide lots of things to do in spare time and there is also a good supply of part-time jobs. Overall I would recommend it for undergraduates.
