More programs from the university

At the University of Exeter, you will find engaged, inclusive, and safe communities, with plenty of opportunities to make life-long friends from all over the world. We offer degree courses across 40 subject areas and provide great choice, flexibility and opportunities to expand your horizons. Field trips and the chance to study or work abroad are a key feature of many of our degrees. 

Work experience and study abroad

Many of our degrees offer ‘year abroad’ options which can help you develop a range of valuable skills. These give you either a professional work placement or a year’s study at one of our prestigious international partner universities. You could pick up a new language, learn about different cultures and make lasting friendships. Many destinations are in English-speaking countries or universities, so you don’t necessarily need to know another language. Usually taken during your third year of study, this additional year will provide you with valuable skills attractive to global employers. Many work placements are also available in the UK if you want to stay closer to home but still gain valuable work experience. 

Field trips

Field work is an essential part of many of our degrees, and an exciting optional extra for many others. We offer a range of field trip opportunities and our students can be found doing fascinating things in all sorts of locations. You can find full details of field trip modules on the programme pages on our website.

Summer schools

You can also take advantage of study opportunities during the summer vacation. Taught by our world-class academics and external experts, our summer schools offer the chance to learn new skills and acquire knowledge while interacting with people from all over the world.

Build your own degree

We have several ways that you can shape your degree, from multidisciplinary courses like Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences, to the opportunity to study modules from outside your main subject.

Flexible Combined Honours (FCH)

Flexible Combined Honours lets you combine any two or even three subjects from across the entire university, as long as they can be timetabled together and you meet any entry criteria. You can choose how you split your credits between each subject and build your own bespoke degree. What you choose to study determines the exact wording on your degree certificate when you graduate.

Proficiency in Law

Students studying on the Penryn Campus can add a specified number of law modules to their programme to obtain their degree ‘with proficiency in law’ (e.g. ‘Environmental Science with Proficiency in Law’).

Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences

Our two flagship multidisciplinary courses let you study complementary subjects. In Liberal Arts you choose a major from the humanities or social sciences, and core Liberal Arts modules introduce real-world issues and skills that cut across disciplines. Natural Sciences gives you a foundation across the sciences before allowing you to specialise.

Free-choice modules

The majority of our courses usually allow you to study up to 30 credits outside of your subject each year – out of 120 total – assuming timetabling works and you meet any necessary criteria. You could add a Marketing module to your English degree, drop some Philosophy into Computer Science or study a new language – it’s completely up to you.

Language Centre

The Language Centre offers daytime credit-bearing language modules that you can integrate into your degree and evening language courses you can study alongside your degree. Some of these courses offer an accreditation, allowing you to gain an additional qualification on top of your degree.
