We have a brand new £2.4million dance studio and gym opening in Summer 2019.

Harry “My course has been a great stepping stone to reaching my goals and future aspirations in the dance industry. My main achievements on the course have been taking part in workshops with lots of different dance companies and performers who have inspired me to keep pursuing the career and broaden my ability in many dance styles, from contemporary to tap. I also feel more confident in choreographing my own pieces in class, which was something I dreaded at the start of the two years. I’ve come on as a performer with understanding why we dance certain moves in a piece, which in turn has helped me with my auditions to theatre schools around the UK. Everyone has been very helpful and friendly, making the two years an enjoyable and safe time.”

07 01392 400500 | exe-coll.ac.uk College life Your day.

Life at college may be a little different from what you’re used to at school. Classes are usually smaller and you’ll have the freedom and flexibility to choose from a huge range of subjects which will allow you to focus on what you really enjoy. You’ll be given responsibility for your own learning and studies, but don’t let that worry you - you’ll have a tutor or Skills Officer and lecturers to keep you on track every step of the way.

Your day will be full - with a timetable that will be made up of classes, tutorials, enrichment options and private study time. There are plenty of Learning Resource Centres to use to complete assignments on site, cafes to catch up with friends and enrichment activities to fill your free time. You won’t be short of things to keep you busy and help you to live college life to the full. These are example timetables:

I am very happy I was able to come here. I think Exeter College is worth the travel because it offers so much more than other colleges and sixth forms nearby can, such as extra-curricular activities, the close relationships with teachers that you can make and also the freedom going to a college in a city where the campuses are spread around really makes a difference.”

Anna “The facilities are excellent, they have incredible tools and equipment to be working with and it definitely provides you with the very best that you can be given to start off with before going into the industry. I chose to study mechanics because my mother was a mechanic for a rally team and she currently works for Pirelli. My hopes for the future after college are to carry on in the industry and progress to hopefully owning either my own garage or working for a rally team and supporting women in the industry and proving that they can do it.”

61 Jessica “The day I achieved my first Distinction I felt amazed and proud that this is where I now am and it gave me hope that I could achieve whatever I wanted to. I have also now learnt to believe in myself, have self confidence that I will do well if I put in the work and try my best. If you asked me at the beginning of the course if I thought I would ever get into university I would have said I’m never going to get the grades for it, but ask me today and I will say yes. Exeter College has been very supportive and it equips you for the next stages of your life, whether you are going on to do an Apprenticeship, go to university or start work.”

However, after this I want to go to become as Dance Journalist, which is why I’m studying Media Studies alongside my two dance subjects. The environment at college is very relaxed.

Robson “There are a lot of possibilities for progression within the college, which can be enjoyed. I like the fact that there is a lot of independent study and during the second year of this course a massive part of it is your project. At college you meet people from all walks of life and different backgrounds who all have different dreams and things that they want to do, and so meeting these people is brilliant, in the sense that everyone can come together to put across their interests and start to understand other people. I think that is something that can provide you with experience for when you leave college. From all the tutors at college I have had nothing but brilliance from them, they are very supportive in the sense that if you are struggling or you do fall behind they are there to help in regards to those situations and to get you through it which I’m very grateful for.”

However, when I looked at the possibility of moving to Exeter College, I saw that they offered this course and as I had an interest in joining the police, I looked into this further. It is the equivalent of three A Levels, but with the added benefit of assignment based work, along with more practical learning, which I thought would suit me better, and I would find more interesting and captivating. I absolutely love the subjects we have been covering within the course. I am very fortunate that my lecturers are all fantastic, giving great support and making it enjoyable along the way.

Linus “All three of my courses had great breadth and depth, which really appealed to me. My courses allowed me to think about the world in a new and more analytical way. Exeter College seems to really promote an intellectual culture which I think has helped me on my path to further studies. I have enjoyed college life. There’s lots of things to do to keep you occupied, both in and out of college and lecturers are always sending you extra material to keep you reading and working. I think the college is very supportive, and the culture is a friendly, welcoming one. It has been a really enjoyable experience, which pushes you intellectually and broadens your horizons.”

Jess “The International Baccalaureate allowed me to continue taking all the subjects I enjoyed, as well as others I may not have otherwise chosen, but have proved to be equally interesting. I also liked the multi-disciplinary approach in GCSEs, and wanted to carry this on at the next level of education. I found the small class-size and tight- knit social group on the IB appealing. I really enjoyed the community aspect of the IB, where everyone is genuinely happy to help with any issues to do with work or otherwise. I would definitely recommend Exeter College to anyone wishing to get a good, rounded education in nearly any field they are interested in. In my experience, the teachers are genuinely passionate about their subjects and the quality of the work you produce, which connects to the ethos of high achievement which surrounds the college. If you are willing to put work into your studies, Exeter College will support you in your ambitions, which, in my opinion, is the best thing you can ask for really.”

I have enjoyed being involved in the Ten Tors 45 mile team and Model United Nations, in particular the conferences competing against other schools in the south west. My studies have enabled me to pursue subjects I enjoy and in all of these I have enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends. I hope to attend university to study French and International Business or International Relations.

We had regular communications which was really helpful and I frequently recommend the college because I know that the support is really good.”

Parent of Ewan, pictured here celebrating his results at our A Level Results day, 2018

Ewan “I’m really happy with my results - two A’s and a C so all set for university. It’s a really nice feeling to get my results and I’m really excited about to going to the University of Liverpool to study Law with Spanish. The teaching at college was really high quality and made the classes an enjoyable experience. My favourite part of college was probably the fact I went on some really great trips - in my first year I went to Seville to stay with a host family and last year I went to Honduras with my Geography class. I spent two weeks in the rainforest, then diving on the coral reefs on Caribbean island which was incredible.”

Oliver “I cycle to the train station and catch a train in to Exeter each day, and I do this because I believe that the college is the best option for my future. I took the A Level courses I am doing now because they are all subjects I really enjoy, which I think is really important if you wish to spend two years studying a subject in such depth. Before this course I took the Exeter College Fast Track GCSE course. I had previously been home educated, so this course and the amazing staff really helped me to progress to the A Level courses I am now doing. There is always support available from your tutor or teachers and there are revision sessions that are put up closer to exams. The college allows for independent study time, for which you can go to many of the Learning and Resource Centres around college, where there are many computers and resource materials available. I would definitely recommend Exeter College as the standard of teaching is outstanding and the support that you receive is incredible.”

Sam “I am a Media and Marketing Apprentice across three different companies - Radio Exe, Active Devon and The City Community Trust. For me no day is ever the same - there is something different to do every single day! I heard about the opportunity to become an Apprentice through an on-air advert on Radio Exe. All of my employers support me well - they help me manage my time and my workload. Active Devon have even provided me with an Apprentice bike so that I can travel between my workplaces. As well as working at different locations, I also attend college each week. I am supported well and helped to develop my knowledge of principles of marketing and business, which I can then put into practice in the workplace. I would highly recommend being an Apprentice. It’s the best way into industry and provides so many amazing experiences.”
