You will find that within the economics degrees, for example, the option modules allow you to tailor your degree to match your interests and potential career requirements. The School is large, but the numbers on each degree programme are not great. This ensures that good staff-student relations are maintained, and, in practice, students often get to know many of the staff outside the formal work environment. There is a Student-Staff Committee, and a Teaching Committee that meets to discuss syllabuses and degree structures and to consider matters which students raise. Students are also represented on the Board of Studies for the Economics and Geography and Economics and Politics degrees.
All students have a personal tutor who is available for advice and support throughout their studies.
European Study Various exchange programmes provide the opportunity for students to spend their third year studying in an EU country, usually in that country s language. On return to Exeter and satisfactory completion of a final, fourth year, they are awarded a BA Honours degree with European Study . Each degree programme in the School is designed to produce graduates who combine the specialist skills that employers require with a broadly based understanding of, and ability to analyse, the role of their subject in society. Stress is also laid on communication and teamwork skills. The more specific aims of the degree programmes can be summarised under the categories of accounting and finance, business and management, and economics.
