Undergraduate student life

We are a large but friendly department with over thirty full-time staff engaged in teaching and research across our campuses in Exeter and Cornwall.  We were ranked 7th in the UK for overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey (2010)¹  and we aim to offer you an outstanding student experience.

We regularly host internationally renowned visiting speakers for departmental seminars and you will be able to join the student-run Politics Society, which offers the chance to meet up with other politics students through its wide variety of activities. The Society has organised lectures and visits to Parliament and to local government institutions as well as other academic activities and has a full programme of social events.

University life and student support

You can find out more about what life is like for students on the Streatham and Cornwall campuses and what support is available for you on the student life pages of the Undergraduate Study website. The website also includes student profiles and films, which give a flavour of life on campus and in Exeter and Cornwall.
