Teaching and assessment
The programme is delivered through a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, industrial presentations, case studies, industry visits, computer simulations, project work and a dissertation.
The programme will have particular value in developing transferable skills development including management skills, communication skills, computational techniques, data handling and analysis, problem solving, decision making and research methodology. Many of these skills will be addressed within an industrial and commercial context.
You will be allocated a Personal Tutor who is available for advice and support throughout your studies, along with support and mentoring from graduates who are now placed in industry. There is also a Postgraduate Tutor available to help with further guidance and advice.
A research- and practice-led culture
We believe every student benefits from being taught by experts active in research and practice. You will discuss the very latest ideas, research discoveries and new technologies in seminars and in the field and you will become actively involved in a research project yourself. All our academic staff are active in internationally-recognised scientific research across a wide range of topics. You will also be taught by leading industry practitioners.
I chose to study at Exeter because it is a proven world-class university and provides a professionally accredited course which I believe will help me find the job I want. There are a great variety of optional modules available including specialised pathways for focused study if you know exactly what you want from the course.
The excellent facilities provide the opportunity for high quality research and ensure that I have the best resources available to receive value for money from my student fees. The College has highly experienced staff, with international exposure and over twenty years of links in industry.
The friendly people provide a diverse and welcoming atmosphere and I would recommend it to other international students. I’ve found my time in Exeter very fulfilling as it has helped me develop not just my educational skills, but also my personality with the experience of living in another country. I’ve received excellent exposure in my research area and will graduate with an internationally recognised degree. The professors are fantastic and always helpful, and I have met some brilliant people in my time here.
