Aberystwyth vs Exeter

Hello :biggrin:

I’ve just been sent an offer for aber and Exeter are still reviewing my application but I just wanted to know which would be the better option.

I’d be studying Business and environment in ex and Business and climate change is Aber

If anyone has any advice, pros and cons abt the unis and what not that would be nice (I’ve already looked at the modules for both and would be VERY happy doing either lol)

Thanks :3

Hi Rueh05,

I'm glad to hear that you have applied to Exeter! There are many great things about Exeter, so I hope I can give you some insight:

Firstly, Exeter is ranked in the Top 10 Unis for business, and has been consistently. The business school is highly regarded and offers unique opportunities to students. For your course, you are able to do a placement year or a year abroad, which does give you something interesting to talk about in interviews and also can be a really enriching experience!

The course is based on the Penryn campus, in the heart of Cornwall, which, as you can imagine, has some really lovely scenery. It is also a hub of environmental and social sustainability expertise.

I'm glad to hear that you have looked at the modules, too. I would definitely recommend attending an Open Day to talk to lecturers and current students about the course, accommodation, and lifestyle: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/visit/

There are also a range of accommodation options, so you can still get a catered or non-catered experience. You can find out more here: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/cornwall-accommodation/choose/

I hope this helps, but do get in touch if you want to know anything more specific!
