An Experience

for Life

• Studying at Exeter is about more than getting a degree – there’s a wealth of opportunities open to you to develop personally as well as professionally.

• We offer an exceptionally wide range of opportunities for you to gain the skills employers want, giving you a head start in the graduate recruitment market. From management training to business placements, one of the UK’s largest student volunteering programmes and a world-wide network of study abroad oppor- tunities as well as careers advice from our own successful graduates, there is a wealth of opportunity to add value to your CV.

Exceptional locations • e Streatham Campus in Exeter is widely acknowledged as the most beautiful in the UK – many students say they simply fell in love with it when they first came to visit and by 2012 the University will have delivered more than £250 million worth of new facilities to further enhance its appeal.

• A safe, student-friendly city within walking distance of both Streatham and St Luke’s campuses, Exeter is consistently rated one of the best places to live in the UK for the quality of its facilities, low crime rate, relaxed ambience and fantastic countryside. • Exeter is a vibrant city with major new developments in shopping, leisure and nightlife.

• Our campus near Falmouth in Cornwall offers a fantastic student lifestyle with modern facilities and plenty of opportunities for sporting and other outdoor activities. With around 4,000 students now studying in the local area, Falmouth is a lively student town with a wealth of bars, pubs and restaurants.

A great atmosphere • A lively, friendly and welcoming campus environment where there’s always lots going on. Big enough to offer all the facilities you’d expect from a leading university, but small enough so you’re not just a face in the crowd.

• We attract students who love getting involved, whether it’s in running clubs, volunteering, fundraising, sports or the arts and music. e Students’ Guild was voted Student Union of the Year in 2010/11, and plays a big part in creating the buzz and energy around the campuses.

6 The University of Exeter

High quality teaching in a research-rich environment • Exeter has one of the highest National Student Survey rankings in the country, being in the top 10 since the survey began. In 2010, the University came 6th in the UK amongst ‘full service’ universities.L

• Exeter is ranked 12th in e Times and 14th in e Guardian league tables (2010), scoring particularly highly for student satisfaction.

• At Exeter you will study and learn with the experts – with those who are shaping their field of study and writing core texts. is means that your learning and teaching will be up-to-date and you will benefit from access to the latest thinking, equipment and resources.

• We are also in e Times top 10 research-intensive universities: nearly 90 per cent of our research was rated as internationally recognised in the latest (2008) Research Assessment Exercise. Every subject was assessed as including world leading (4*) research.N

Putting students first • is is an exciting time to be at the University of Exeter. We are looking to the future with a £275 million investment in facilities on the Streatham Campus. is includes a £130 million investment in new on-campus student residences, the Forum, a £48 million student-facing redevelopment of the heart of the campus, a £25 million investment in the Business School and £25 million for new facilities for Biosciences. With the exception of the final part of the residences development, all of this work will be complete by 2012.

• e Cornwall Campus offers the very latest in academic, research and residential facilities, designed to meet the expectations of students in the 21st century. Our latest development, a £30 million Environment and Sustainability Institute will help put the University at the forefront of environmental and climate change research.

• In the 2010 National Student Survey, Exeter scored in the top 10 for teaching, academic support, personal development and overall satisfaction.L

• e University works in partnership with the student body to continuously improve the student experience through the ‘Student as Change Agents’ project – our system of student representation is commended by the QAA.

For example, the assessment in my second year course on policy analysis casts students in the role of policy advisers. By writing about a policy problem of their choice, and researching the various possible decisions that decision-makers in government could make, students change from being analysts who are one-step removed from the political process to policymakers who must win attention for their issue and design a policy response that is politically, economically and ethically credible. I use my experience from working in the civil service, and my own research on policy advice, to teach the analytical methods and research skills essential for ‘speaking truth to power’ (and knowing how to respond when power speaks back!).

There is so much support and understanding for mature students in terms of practical issues like finance and general, pastoral care. I graduated this year with First Class Honours and feel such a huge sense of pride in my achievement. As a result of my studies I have more than a degree; I have more confidence and the sense that I know I can do anything I set my mind to.

From what I have experienced of the ‘English in the Workplace’ module

I would say that it has been probably the most beneficial experience I’ve had

‘‘during my time in Exeter so far in terms of introducing me to the pressures and challenges of the workplace and also teaching me how to prepare myself‘‘ for it. I think it is a very important part of my degree and something that has definitely helped me to focus on what I want to do after graduation.

I really enjoyed my time as a Psychology undergraduate at the University of Exeter. The course was challenging but varied, and the breadth of subject ‘‘matter covered meant that there was always something to interest me. I particularly enjoyed the opportunities throughout the course to undertake my own research projects. The skills I learnt through this process of actually

experiencing the reality of undertaking research in a scientific and rigorous way

really helped me define my future career choice. The department itself provided a friendly and approachable environment in which to study, with the teaching ‘‘ led by many expert staff who are at the top of their fields. I would easily recommend Exeter as one of the best places in the UK to study Psychology.
