A mostly high standard of teaching and modules with lots of job prospects coming out of university. My personal tutor and lecturers where very helpful in providing assistance throughout each module. Overall value for money it is very much worth it but you have to make the decision to get stuck in, ask lecturers about their research and build your CV with volunteering and excelling in each module. read more

One thing that really impressed me about Exeter was the variation and scope of the modules. There are also so many opportunities like internships and iGEM for work experience. You also have a lot of contact hours and practical experiments. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more
