University of Exeter - UOE (reviews)

I like Exeter because it feels calm but still academically serious. The campus is beautiful and makes studying less stressful, and everything is close enough that you don’t feel lost like in a huge city. Teaching feels supportive and organised, and there’s a strong sense of community — it’s easy to settle in, focus on your work, and still have a good social life without constant chaos.

My experience of Exeter University was pretty dreadful. The politics course at the Amory Building was too abstract and based on theory and there were too many lecturers imposing their opinions. Most of the students seemed to come through elite schools and that impacted their attitudes. There was zero support for graduates afterwards as well, especially people who had studied social sciences and had no clear goals.

My time at the University of Exeter opened up a wide range of opportunities I hadn’t previously considered. As an international student, I felt well-supported throughout my journey, thanks to the university’s dedicated resources and welcoming environment.
The Business and Film departments stood out for their exceptional faculty and mentors, who brought both academic insight and industry experience into the classroom. The program was notably hands-on, with regular access to industry professionals, practical workshops, and real-world projects that enriched the learning experience.
Additionally, the faculty were proactive in helping students explore internships and career pathways, making my time at Exeter not just academically rewarding, but also professionally valuable.

The Psychology course at Exeter stands out for its enthusiastic teaching, approachable staff, and excellent facilities like the library and IT support. I found the range of optional modules really valuable, allowing me to tailor the course to my interests. While feedback on assessments could be more consistent, the overall experience is supportive, stimulating, and well-rounded.
