The University of Exeter has been dedicated to discovery and changing lives through education since 1851 when the Exeter Schools of Art and Science were founded. In 1922 we became the University College of the South West, receiving our Charter in 1955, achieving full university status and becoming the University of Exeter.

      I like how I get to decided a high amount of what modules I take and that there is a mix of coursework and exams. I don't always enjoy group work, and there is quite alot on my course. Though some groups are really successful, often you get students that like to freeride and unfortunately the lectures don't seem to care and so they are rewarded the same grade for other people's hard and stressful work
