Exeter has been a great place for undergraduate study. The teaching here is good and the practical laboratory seminars have helped me learn more. The programme is very ‘hands on’ and enhances learning experience. We get good support from the staff and the atmosphere is super friendly. It is a very campus-based university and really convenient.
