*You will have a specific timeslot within this hour to meet your tutor.

You can access your timetable via MyTimetable or in the iExeter app. You can find help with MyTimetable here.

You must register with the university at the start of each academic year. By registering, you agree to observe the University’s rules and regulations, including the payment of tuition fees and other charges by the deadlines. Most students will be asked to register online.

The registration webpage can be found here. 

To register, you need to:

• Activate your IT account.
• Use your IT details to log in to iExeter.
• Follow the ‘Registration’ link.

If you have any problems registering online or your course details are not correct, please contact the Student Information Desk on 01392 724724 or submit a SID enquiry.

As soon as you arrive, you’ll be allocated a Personal Tutor who’ll be your first point of contact. You can contact them if you have any queries or concerns about your overall progress and wellbeing. Across the university you may also see these referred to as ‘Academic Tutors’ or ‘Academic Personal Tutors’, but it’s all the same role.

You’ll be invited to attend regular meetings with them throughout the academic year, and it’s important that you keep in touch, even if it is just to confirm that all is well. You can also contact your Personal Tutor at any time to arrange a meeting.

The relationship you build up with your tutor is an important one, not least because they will sometimes be the person who writes references for you when you start applying for jobs or other positions such as internships.

This short video outlines some of the benefits of our tutoring system:

Your degree is made up of several different short courses called ‘modules’. Each module is led by a named academic staff member. Still, most are taught by a team of tutors who share the lectures, seminars and laboratories.

Your Module Tutors can be contacted in the same way as you would contact your Personal Tutor to seek help and advice. Your Module Tutors will let you know how to contact them to arrange a meeting, with this information also displayed on the module’s ELE page*.

*ELE is the Exeter Learning Environment, and each module has a dedicated page. On here you will find the information and materials you need to complete the module.

Each programme (e.g. BSc Exercise and Sport Science, MSc Paediatric Exercise and Health) is led by a Programme Director, whose job is to oversee the running of the programme and to liaise with all of the Module Tutors to ensure that you make good progress. You might need to contact them with any programme-level concerns, and they may also be able to advise you on your module choices.

Each department has a Director of Education and Student Experience who is responsible for the programmes and modules in their subject area. You’ll be able to meet with the Director of Education and Student Experience during Welcome Week. If you encounter any significant difficulties with your studies, they may be able to work with you to resolve these.

The Director of Postgraduate Taught Studies is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the postgraduate programmes. This may include helping students make choices about their studies, or meeting with individuals who are having difficulties at university. You will meet them during Welcome Week, and see them regularly throughout the year.

Joining one (or a few!) of the amazing student-led societies is the perfect way to meet other students, find people with similar interests and even try something completely new. With over 300, there really is something for everyone! You can see more about societies here.

Student representation and democracy are also key for the Students’ Guild. They are the essence of their work; allowing them to ensure your views and interests are completely central to both the Guild’s and the University’s decision-making. Their voice team exists to support every student, you don’t need to be a committee member or a student rep to use your voice to make a difference – get in touch and let them help you make the changes you want to see! Find out more and meet the voice team.

The calendar is always full of various opportunities. Whether you have an interest in sport, theatre, or anything in between, there are bound to be some activities that will grab your undivided attention. They are a great way to meet new people with similar interests and they are a great opportunity to feel part of our community. Check out the Guild’s events here or see all University events on your iExeter.

British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) is the national governing body for student sport in the UK. They facilitate and deliver all cross-university competition, as well as national events, campaigns, and further opportunities to promote physical activity within student sport settings.

The University of Exeter offers one of the largest programmes in the UK for competitive university sport, with over 110 teams registered competing weekly in leagues with several of our clubs competing in annual events. Our clubs offer either weekly or yearly competitive competitions to test and further develop your skills.

Join over 4,000 University of Exeter students playing weekly in our Social Sport Leagues (SSLs).

We are proud to include a variety of ways in which students can be active whilst studying, one of these is Pitch Up and Play!

If you're not keen to join a sports club, or commit to playing in our Social Sport Leagues, then Pitch Up and Play could be just for you.

We will run a timetable through all three terms full of activity that you can just turn up to. It's free, weekly and has no commitment requirements. You just turn up when you want!

The University’s Wellbeing and Welfare services are here to help our students get the most out of their time at university. Health and wellbeing are crucial ingredients of effective study as well as a rich and fulfilling student experience. For students with disabilities, specific learning difficulties and long-term health conditions, we understand that you may need support to manage your health and wellbeing, as well as your studies, whilst you are at university. 

If you have declared a disability on your application form pre-arrival or on a medical form, we would advise you to contact AccessAbility and Wellbeing services by logging an enquiry through the SID helpdesk. They will ensure that you get the additional study support you require e.g. extra time in exams, specific software etc.

You can find recommended reading for your modules in the module descriptors here. All recommended reading is available through the university library.
