Anatasia Bowes
BA Arabic and Islamic Studies
The Arabic department becomes your second home.... I'll miss the sense of community that there is here at Exeter. I'll miss my friends in Arabic and the Arabic building, where I spent a LOT of my time.
Courtney Buckler

Research-led teaching has by far been the most enjoyable part of my degree. There is something so valuable about being taught by somebody who is not only knowledgeable about a topic, but passionate and opinionated about it too.
Edward Beecham
BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics
The Exeter Award is both a beneficial and accommodating award as it not only furthers your development in the job hunt, it also works alongside your degree, without detracting from your studies.
Eleanor Healy
BA Politics and International Studies, Penryn
Living in a holiday location like Falmouth, with sun, fresh air and the relaxed way of life, was the perfect counterbalance at the end of a long day in the library!
Eleanor Sevenoaks
BA Philosophy
The lecturers were so helpful and always had their door open for queries and further discussions.

Join different societies, try new activities and step outside of your comfort zone while you have the chance!

The dissertation was definitely the main highlight... It helped bring my degree to life, to help me feel like maybe my work could one day make a difference to someone.
James Harman

I loved the interdisciplinary nature of social sciences at Exeter; I have been able to study modules encompassing history, philosophy, economics and international relations, in addition to my core disciplines.
Minh Tri Le
BSc (Hons) Sociology and Criminology with Applied Data Analysis
Make sure you have an abundance of stories to tell from your time as a student. This can only happen if you make an effort to put as much as you can in to get as much out of the University experience as possible.
Kevin Ho Yuan Chang

The lecturers managed to find a perfect balance between the theoretical and practical aspects of the law.

I would like to thank the teachers of the Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies for their hard work and dedication to their subjects which has given me such a passion for the subject.
Pavel Kondov

The notion that in the social sciences there is more than one valid way to answer the same question made for a constantly fascinating journey, and being taught by such great academics instils a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Samantha Ross
LLB Law
Across a huge variety of modules there are so many different and interesting facets to legal studies. Studying Law has equipped me with a number of transferable skills which will prove useful in my professional life.
Josh Callandar

Being able to transfer current events to political theory literally a day after an event happening is something which you can only experience in a handful of degrees
Alexa St.John Palmer

I've loved being surrounded by students and the general hubbub of campus and I will really miss that feeling.
