group of three students studying together

Our students complete many different types of qualification before coming to Exeter: A levels, International and French Baccalaureates, BTECs, Access to HE Diplomas, a wide range of undergraduate degrees, and other national certificates. If you’re entering at postgraduate level, you may find that your route to achieving an undergraduate qualification was very different to that of your peers.

We celebrate diversity and appreciate all the different knowledge and skills our amazing students bring with them from elsewhere. As you begin to get to know your peers you’ll see the wide range of places you come from. But now, let’s see what excites you academically!

What are you looking forward to learning about while here?

Please be aware that any comments and contributions in this forum are open to the general public and NOT just other students in the cohort.

I really love plants so i'm looking forward to anything and everything green!

Considering our location, it will also be great about local marine ecosystems and conservation schemes.

I'm generally excited about most of what I'll be learning, but I suppose if I had to choose something, I'm really looking forward to getting to learn about conservation from the UK and in Kenyan perspective (I'm from the US), and exploring nature in Cornwall and in Kenya!

I’m looking forward to learning about marine vertebrates as I’ve never focused on anything specific on marine life in my studies before and learning about wildlife disease. I’m also looking forward to starting a language course to improve my Spanish

I'm quite looking forward to expanding my knowledge on evolutionary biology and in-depth ecology on a larger range of species, since it was only covered briefly in my A-levels and I would like to know more about it!
