PRINCESSHAY, EXETER CITY CENTRE 6 The location of the Penryn Campus was a big factor in my decision to study here. I was a keen windsurfer before I started studying here and the location of the campus has allowed me to continue sailing in the evenings and weekends. It’s also a very relaxed way of life, with plenty to do. Mark Whitfield, BEng Mining and Minerals 7 CORNWALL A COUNTY LIKE NO OTHER
Cornwall has a rich history of artistic and scientific innovation, making it a fascinating and stimulating place to attend university.

I made up my mind early what I wanted to do. I did work experience with Bath Rugby when I finished school and fell in love with the high performance environment. I stayed on at Exeter to do a Masters, as the way elite sport is moving it’s a real plus to have one. I worked with Hockey Wales and as I handed in my dissertation started working with GB rowing which I continued up until the Rio Olympics. My long term aspiration is to lead the strength and conditioning programme for a particular sport.

I changed schools for sixth form and things really improved. My teachers believed in me and said I should go to university. In my first year at Exeter I signed up to societies, applied for internships and worked part- time as I needed the money. My approach was to try everything and work out what I liked. upReach works with students from less privileged backgrounds and partners them with firms they’ll be suited to. They matched me to McKinsey and a mentor from a similar background. As a business analyst I could be working in any industry on any project; you rotate so you can find out where your interests are. The most important thing for me at McKinsey is the people – it doesn’t feel like work when people love their jobs and are great at them. My advice is say yes and put your hand up. If you’re given an opportunity take it. If you have a question ask it. Sophie Barlow, Business Analyst, McKinsey (BSc Business Economics with Industrial Experience 2016)

Leaving your home country can be a difficult decision, but for me it was really worth it. I didn’t come to any open days because I had my exams, so I first saw the campus when I moved in. Needless to say, I was very excited and nervous when I arrived. I remember the moment the taxi drove up the hill to campus and I could see how gorgeous it actually looked. Since it was my first time there, I was relieved to find so many student ambassadors and staff to help me out at every step. But that’s just the first day, I can’t put in a little paragraph how much support is provided, how many opportunities we get and how helpful places like the Compass are, somewhere where you can go with any problem at all. They helped me a lot during my first few weeks, with questions like ‘how do I open a bank account?’ It’s good to know that you’ll always have a place to go with questions.

For me, studying economics is about understanding how the ever-changing world around us functions. One day you could be learning about how auctions operate, while the next you might get an insight into why governments decide to implement certain environmental policies. The most interesting aspect about studying economics is that the world that we live in is not constant and hence there is always something new to analyse. Abhinav Jaggi, BA Economics 89
Before my degree, I completed a foundation certificate with INTO Exeter and saw the University rise in the rankings. I grew accustomed to the beautiful campus and could not imagine starting over in a new university. For my year abroad I chose Toulouse Business School, and focussed on the business aspect of my degree by studying courses not provided by Exeter. These included how to deal with the French, and negotiation with the Chinese and Japanese. This gave me the opportunity to complement my soft skills and broaden my knowledge of the business environment. The best thing about studying abroad was experiencing new cultures. At times it was challenging, but it was definitely worthwhile. Studying abroad expands your thinking patterns; a typical class in Toulouse resembles a UN panel because of the sheer diversity. It was a rare opportunity to gain insight into numerous cultures and challenge preconceptions. Naomi Aguariavwodo, BA Business Economics with European Study, from Nigeria

Exeter felt like home from my first visit when I had my offer. I had been to similar days at other universities and experienced the sell you receive (Russell Group, leading researchers, prestigious reputation, etc), but Exeter seemed different. Whilst it does boast those things, they weren’t what made me fall in love with it. The fantastic setting, with its beautiful and historic surroundings mixed with the exciting new buildings, made Exeter stand out. Another thing was how welcoming everyone was, which made me feel like I would be accepted here. The sports offering was also important, especially the relaxed intramural leagues which allow groups of friends or society members to take time to destress from studying. I can say without a doubt that I do not regret choosing Exeter. I have had the best years of my life here, and the opportunities will allow me to succeed beyond university in my chosen career.

Coming to Penryn I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere, which you don’t really get anywhere else. The course seemed different from any kind of history degree I’d come across so far, and the Public History module was a big factor in my coming here. If you’re looking for a more avant-garde course, ranging from environmental history to social and public history, this is the place to be. The lecturers here are set on getting the best out of their students. The modules are intellectually stimulating, and the lecturers are passionate as well as knowledgeable about their subjects. One of my favourite aspects of studying at Penryn has been the local, cosy atmosphere, the ‘we’re-all-in-the-same-boat’ feeling that makes for great camaraderie among students. Falmouth and Penryn are lovely towns, and sharing a campus with Falmouth University provides a great blend between academic and creative ideas, views, and people.

One of the reasons I chose Exeter was its campus. The thought of studying with all the facilities together was far more appealing to me than a university with buildings spread throughout a city. The Law School is also highly recognised, and there are a huge number of extra-curricular activities, which I found out about when I attended an Open Day. I have become a very active student. Last year I was appointed as the Senior Law Representative, while also taking up the responsibilities of a Residence Life Mentor and a Pathways to Law Mentor. I’ve also undertaken several work experiences in law firms, including a paid summer internship, all facilitated by the University. I am also Vice President for both the Islamic Society and Pakistani Society, giving me the chance to develop leadership skills, fantastic for employability. Exeter has truly helped me gain confidence and other crucial skills. It provides a huge range of opportunities that I am always grabbing. I love Exeter and would never regret choosing it.

Outside academia there’s so much to get involved with. From volunteering to societies and sports, there are extra-curricular opportunities for everyone. This has given me the chance to meet and become friends with some incredible people. Exeter has a close-knit student community, with both campuses close to the city centre, so you’ll often see someone you know whether you’re working in the library or going shopping. Together, these things lend themselves to the friendly atmosphere of both the University and the city, and have made me fall in love with the whole experience.

I missed getting into Exeter by one grade. I did not want to settle for second best, so I turned down my insurance choice at another top 10 university to take a year out and resit one A level. This was a big risk and a lot of people told me I was crazy. One year later I got my A and secured my place at Exeter! It was one of the hardest yet best decisions I have ever made; Exeter has been amazing so far. The support you receive from staff is immense, they’re constantly looking at ways in which they can improve to accommodate their students. I’m really looking forward to spending the next few years of my life here and making more unforgettable memories whilst gaining a top-class education and degree.
