Biology, University of Exeter

You can specialise a biology degree at Exeter to fit around your interests but most graduate jobs will accept any degree and having science displays many skills that can help secure a job.

Teachers are substandard, not at all enthusiastic and refuse to give one to one help as they have "too many students". Teachers at college had more students and still managed to have office hours to sit and go through topics. Where they get £9000 a year from I don't know.

Good lecturers. Course content is interesting. I don't see my tutor enough though. I wish it was more frequent. At the moment, with meetings being so irregular, having a tutor seems pointless, when it shouldn't be.

Fantastic teaching, interesting content. First year gives you an essential grounding of understanding in many areas of science.

Lovely wide range of topics and so much choice and freedom in 2nd and 3rd years. Lecturers are very engaging and there is a lot of help in terms of resources posted online!

Its an amazing course il just on first year and im having si much fun meating so many people that have amazing ideas and jobs i would love to do!! The lecturers are there for you and Can help you for anything you want!! The university has an amazing network and réputation for biosciences and un general!! I highly récompense this course or any others biosciences course.

Almost too much careers advice to be honest, but its mostly optional and most of its pretty useful for most people.

good course but really hard

I'm just finishing first year but I've found Biology really exciting and engaging so far. There are so many places Biology can take you and it's amazing to hear the excitement in the lecturers voices when they talk about their own research. Would recommend (as a student who took Bio, Geog and Psych at A level). The Chemistry is quite hard in the beginning but you have the option to choose whichever topics you want next year, so I chose ones with less Chem :)

Great course if you are interested in environmental, marine or mico biology. If you are more interested in human biology then there might not be much of interest to you.

The course leaders are very passionate about the subject
