Postgraduate students are often attracted to the beautiful environment of the South West as well as the research profile of the University and its excellent facilities and postgraduate provision. Here in the School of Biosciences we aim to make each postgraduate student feel welcome and part of a vibrant, exciting School which is continually achieving in its field. You can read more about what it is like living in Exeter or Cornwall, and read profiles of some of our MSc students as they talk about their experiences.
If you are looking for a School that is not afraid of dreaming big and matching its dreams with brave steps and actions, then Exeter is the place to be...I'd like to share that one of the most striking things you'd notice about Exeter the first time is the willingness by staff and students whom you've never met before to lend a helping hand at all times. For me, it was a refreshing change from the mien of aloof indifference common in big city universities like those in London. The genuine interest and warm support of the Careers & Employability office is truly remarkable. Their efforts have seen key industry players and choice companies scrambling for Exeter graduates at the end of every year. Exeter has one of the highest rates of students graduating with a 2.1 or a first in the country - the quiet, conducive learning atmosphere might not be unconnected to that result.
