Welcome to all new undergraduate students arriving in Autumn 2020
For those of you beginning your undergraduate studies in the Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology during 2020-21, let me introduce myself and welcome you to the University of Exeter. Whether you are coming from school, from a year out, or from an established career, the members of staff in this Department are committed to ensuring you make the most of your time here. Of course, because of safety concerns related to the pandemic, we have had to make a number of changes to the ways in which deliver our teaching. However, we have worked very hard over the past few months to make sure you receive the best possible educational opportunities.
Our undergraduate degrees are given by some of the leading academics in their fields. Our Department offers an exciting and expanding mix of options in anthropology, criminology, philosophy and sociology. As Head of the Department, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Dr Alexey Bessudnov, as Director of Education, can also address any issues. We look forward to meeting each of you, whether on-line or on campus, in September.
Head of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology
