Zoology Applicants 2013

It's pretty incredible, I love the uni it looks amazing.

I had spotted the WildDocSoc actually, what's it like? My career aspirations are to become a natural history documentary presenter.

Hey, honestly I'm in love with Exeter, Cornwall Campus/the CEC especially :P

We only became an official society in January and we're still in the process of getting the society established. We're still at the stage of applying for funding for equipment and things, but we've already had some AWESOME people come and chat to us (including Doug Anderson (Underwater Cameraman) and James Honeyborne (Africa series producer) and we've got some really great people lined up to come down and talk to us over Freshers (I won't spoil the surprises just yet, but it should be GOOD!).

Once we get hold of some equipment, we'll be looking to focus more on workshops designed to help increase the skillsets of people and give them role-specific experience (with members of the NHU etc invited down to help us run them) and practical filming projects which students can use to start building a portfolio etc. We hope that the society will allow students to gain contacts and show a real passion for wildlife filmmaking and commitment to a career in the industry.

So far, all the people we've spoken to within the industry seem really interested and keen to support what we're doing and we hope we can build some strong links with the relevant production companies etc to help facilitate people who want to get work experience placements etc. We're the one and only WildDocSoc in the country so at the moment its a unique and interesting thing to be part of and we hope we can continue to build on an encouraging initial year

P.S Nick Baker is an honourary lecturer at Exeter - so we're hoping we'll be able to persuade him to come and do a presenting workshop at some point in the future when he's not too busy!

This sounds fantastic! I will definitely be signing up.

Has everyone already chosen their firm and insurance choice? Feel like I'm leaving it a bit late

I'm not a zoology applicant but I was wondering, did many of you need animal work experience to apply?

i had 0 animal experience and got offers from all of my unis. it's only going to help your statement though.

Just applied for accomodation at Exeter CC
