University of Exeter - UOE (reviews)

Very helpful lecturers and staff with lots of activities set up to help you meet friends. There are many other extra-curricular activities that you can engage in such as sport, societies and their socials along with activities designed to help you familiarise yourself in Exeter.

What’s really good about studying law at Exeter are all the different module choices that are available to you when you can choose optional modules. Individual module conveners are also really passionate about teaching and will always help you out. However, the workload is heavy, as is expected with a law degree. The chance to study abroad with the subject, which I will be doing next year really interested me in the course to gain more experience.

After completing my first year of university at Exeter, I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The closeness of the campus feels truly feels like a student village, making it so easy to make friends and bond quickly with other students on the same course, in societies, and in sports. It is not only the closeness of campus living that has made it so much fun, but also feels safe with campus security alerts at all times. The endless list of societies and sports makes it easy for you to fit into what interests you the most. I have been able to meet so many interesting people from all over the world, and some students in term 2 coming to study on exchange. Studying at the business school has been so interesting, and the course has allowed me to expand my business knowledge, not just in marketing, to prepare me for the fast-paced business environment that we are currently living in. The library and on campus facilities are fantastic for finding the perfect study spot. The support from tutors and lecturers has also been amazing, meaning I can email, or ask about anything I have been unsure about without worry. The range of assessments on the course – from essays, to reports, to presentations, to MCQs, to exams – has meant it has been more versatile than simply completing a final exam, broadening my skills for the future. I would highly recommend studying at Exeter and choosing a degree in business.

I am one of the first five people on the course as it was launched in September 2021. My first year so far has been fantastic – my department (CGES) is very supportive, all academics are super approachable and there is always someone to ask for help if needed. The course itself is very interesting – it gives you the opportunity to go either in the direction of physical ocean sciences or marine biology which is great, especially for students who feel unsure of where to go next. What I love most about Marine Science is how interdisciplinary it is and the career prospect it gives you at the end of your bachelor’s as you can go in literally any marine-related field.
I am based at the Penryn Campus in Cornwall, very close to the sea which gives you plenty of opportunities to surf and socialise at the beach. Student life is really good as well – you get to meet a variety of people as we are two universities which share one campus, facilities and accommodation. You get the more academic type from the University of Exeter and the artsy people from Falmouth University which is a great diversity of people! Falmouth and Penryn are small, cute, seaside towns with decent nightlife and lots of independent shops and restaurants. I thoroughly recommend coming here!

The whole program is well designed. And students will learn from financial accounting, management accounting and corporate finance. All teachers are responsible. UoE has excellent facilities and environment.

I really enjoyed most of the modules I had throughout my 3 years, however I would really like if we had more options earlier on in our degree rather than just the final year, as that would make the degree much more personal and interesting. The professors are overall good, with some exceptions of them being a bit hard to follow or seeming unapproachable.

Student life here is not bad, takes some getting used to as a non-British person. International students are a bit scarce so it’s very easy to feel out of place until you start establishing your own network of people you connect with.

Overall a positive experience, but a challenging one nonetheless.

The course that I am studying at the University of Exeter is Business and Management, which, in my opinion, is a go-to course if you are thrilled to learn about how the world around you really functions and if you are interested to leave your trace in it. What I really enjoy about this course is its closeness to our day-to-day life, companies and organizations have a much greater influence on your actions and behaviour than you think and this course makes you realize it. Marketing, for example, which is one of my favourite modules, will open you the doors to a world of persuasion and control that almost does not seem real, you will learn the decision process behind any great advertisement and how marketers subtly put your mind whatever they want. Another great feature about this course is that it allows you to choose three or more modules to study and the semester you want to study them. There are plenty of options that you can choose from covering almost every aspect of Business and Management and more, I, for example, chose Entrepreneurships which can teach you how great business ideas are born and how you can create yours, it also teaches you other important skills such as teamwork, leadership, and creativity. I found that this course is also very diversified with students and professors coming from all over the world, me being international myself I always felt really comfortable in this environment and part of something bigger than myself. Studying this program is not only very interesting and useful but also makes you part of a big community of students and professors with the same interests and ideas.

The facilities and support given to the students while studying my course (sport and exercise science) are very good. The course spans over a wide range of different skills that are attractive and transferable to other jobs and post-graduate degrees, making this course quite a good one to do if you want to do a master’s in a wide range of subjects. It also exposes you to scientific equipment that would not be used in any other course. I also think Exeter is a very safe city as its quite small so I usually feel pretty confident and safe when going on nights out (as long as I stay in a group!). 1 criticism I have is that I have heard that my university isn’t very good at helping and giving support to postgraduates in finding jobs, which I think is something that should be addressed.

I am only in the first term of my degree; however, it has already been very interesting and the delivery of the lectures is more than adequate. I have already been set an essay for which we were given limited guidance, causing me to feel quite lost. This opinion is shared with many other students on my course although this is the only complaint I have so far and I am looking forward to completing the rest of my degree.

I am incredibly impressed by the course structure that has been designed for my course((Business Analytics). It includes Python and R programming, Database language (SQL), Statistics, and Probability – and they are my favourite subjects!! My professors are outstanding as they welcome all the queries and explain everything in both layman and technical terms. The Best thing about my course is an optional module called Environmental Analytics, which I did not find in any other University.
