Is it possible to change courses before or during our first year? Even if the new course has slightly higher entry grades?

Yes you can apply to change your programme of study either before you register or within the first four weeks of term. However, you would normally be expected to meet the standard entrance requirements as advertised on our website. I hope this helps.

You can definitely join at beginners level - everyone is welcome! There'll be loads of taster sessions during Freshers' Week where you can try things out: http://sport.exeter.ac.uk/studentspo...17thseptember/

Hello,

I am thinking of doing Law at Exeter - but only do A-Level Law, English Language and Psychology - and hope to pick up Eng Lit AS in my second year to study with those three A2s. How competitive is Law at Exeter? Would you say that those three subjects that I study are possibly "soft-courses" and will they put me at a disadvantage if I am up against students studying Physics, Chemistry, Maths... etc

Thank you

The only subject requirement we have for Law is GCSE English Language grade B or above so your A level subjects won't put you at any disadvantage! In terms of how competitive Law is here, the typical offer range is AAA-AAB but as long as you have those predicted grades when applying, you should be fine.

It says that Fresher's starts on the 15th of September, but that's a Saturday. Will the 15th just be a "moving in day" kind of thing and fresher's truly begins on the 17th?

Yup, the saturday and sunday are for moving in - the Accommodation Office will let you know which day - and then everything really kicks off from Monday 17th Sept.

The A level grades required are A*AA-AAA and the subject requirements are GCE AL Chemistry and either Biology or Physics. Biology must be achieved at a minimum of Grade C at AS level if not studied at AL. Four subjects must be studied at AS level. General Studies is not included in any offer.

All other details can be found at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/undergraduat...edicine/entry/

I hope that's of some help.

Hi,

I'm an international student and I have a problem regarding my CAS statement. Is it best I call the international admissions office or should I contact my subject department directly?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm a mature student who'll be coming to study Medical Imaging at Exeter in September.

My question is relating to personal transport - I understand that the university has a green policy and doesn't encourage students to bring their cars, hence the on-campus halls of residence don't provide parking spaces for students.

But as I am coming from nearly 200 miles away and have elderly parents, I am keen to keep my own mode of transport to visit home, and not have to pay £120 a go for a return ticket on the train.

Would you know if there are any car parks in Exeter where I can pay for a 3, 6, or 9 month parking permit, to keep my car there? Or where I could find out that kind of information? I am not planning to use my car while in Exeter, I just need somewhere to keep it for when I visit home. I'll be transporting all my belongings in it by myself when I move into halls of residence, so I have no choice but to bring it with me anyway.


Thanks in advance.

I haven't been able to book my arrival date for accommodation, and I really need to book my flight in from Canada (I'm an international student). If I fly in on the 14th, will I be able to arrive at my residence? I would rather not stay in a hostel with all my law school luggage.

Hi, off the top of my head I'm afraid I don't know if there are any parking options for you but I will check with my colleagues first thing tomorrow and get back to you.
