Postgraduate education matters now more than ever. The contribution of postgraduates to the global economy cannot be overstated; they form the high-level skills base and knowledge economy that we need to invest in if we are to safeguard our financial, scientific, and intellectual futures.

The contribution to the individual is even more profound. As well as the economic benefits – people with a postgraduate qualification can expect to earn £5,000 more a year on average (or £200,000 over a 40-year working life*) than someone only holding a Bachelor’s degree – a postgraduate degree can open a world of other opportunities.

From specific careers that require specialist training – be that in engineering, education, academia, or healthcare – to highly competitive industries and businesses where an extra level of expertise can give you the edge, and, especially, to the

joy of learning, discovering, and understanding a subject you feel passionate about to the very deepest level, you will find that a postgraduate qualification will be one of the most rewarding things you ever do.

I come from a working class background, and was told that ‘people like you don’t go to university.’ But I was lucky enough to have a teacher who gave me the confidence to succeed, and I was the first person in my family to go to university. That experience, for me, has fired a life-long focus on access to education. University is about achieving potential, not simply a reward for where you were born in life. We need to invest, both intellectually and financially, in the people who are generating new knowledge and teaching future generations, and the key way to do that is through postgraduate education.

Professor Sir Steve Smith, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive

POSTGRADUATE STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EXETER

About this prospectusThis prospectus primarily details our taught postgraduate programmes; for more information on our research degrees, please see our website: www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate

Page 5: Postgraduate Prospectus 2016 (PDF)

The University of Exeter was given its charter in 1955, but has educational roots stretching back more than 150 years. Today, we are a member of the prestigious Russell Group of research intensive universities, and combine academic excellence and world-leading research with stunning campuses in the most beautiful part of the UK.

Our six academic colleges cover every aspect of the sciences, humanities, social sciences, business, and medicine. We have campuses at Penryn and Truro in Cornwall, as well as in Exeter itself. Our staff and students are from all over the world and from every kind of background.

In recent years we have cemented our reputation for excellence in teaching and research, regularly ranking amongst the very top universities in the UK1 and the world2. We rank extremely highly globally for our scientific impact and collaboration3, and received a significant boost to our research funding following our outstanding performance in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework4.

Over the last decade we have invested heavily in our facilities – from study

spaces and laboratories to student accommodation and sports facilities – making our campuses as cutting-edge as they are beautiful, and perfectly suited to postgraduate study.

We believe that higher education has the power to transform people’s lives, via the benefits of studying and through the impact of research. Our students demand a great deal of us and we of them – we aim to make our teaching and research inspirational and your learning experience exceptional.

WHAT IS POSTGRADUATE STUDY?

Postgraduate study is a level above undergraduate study, and consequently places serious academic demands on you as a student.

The majority of taught postgraduate programmes at Exeter are Masters degrees. These normally combine advanced level tuition with the

completion of a dissertation under theguidance of an individual member of staff. You will usually have a choice of modules so that you can tailor your programme to your own interests. Many of our taught degrees follow a flexible modular format whereby you can choose from a range of specialist pathways or combine modules from a range of areas.

4

Page 7: Postgraduate Prospectus 2016 (PDF)

MA, MSc, MResWe offer the Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc) and the Master of Research (MRes). The MRes degree, highly valued by employers, combines advanced subject-specific tuition with advanced level training in the methodological, analytic and research skills which are vital for the undertaking of further research. Also on offer are other specialist taught postgraduate degrees, such as the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Master of Laws (LLM).

Several of our subjects also offer the opportunity to study a Masters by Research, giving you the opportunity to gain a Masters degree by carrying out an independent research project in a specific subject under the supervision of an academic expert, rather than via scheduled tuition. Masters by Research programmes are usually approximately 30 per cent cheaper than taught Masters degrees, but sometimes have more stringent entry criteria. For full details see our website: www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate

Part-time study and distance learningMost Masters programmes are 11-12 months full-time, with many programmes also available for part-time study and lasting roughly twice as long. Please note that international students are subject to visa regulations which normally prevent part-time study. Increasingly we offer distance-learning programmes which require little or no attendance at our campuses and enable you to study for a postgraduate qualification from Exeter, anywhere in the world. Some programmes are delivered via ‘block teaching’; intensive one to two week bursts of on-campus lectures, seminars, and activities, which can fit more easily around your working life.

PgCert and PgDip Some of our Masters degrees can be taken in a shorter form, by omitting the dissertation or some of the taught modules. Whereas a Masters programme represents 180 credits of which around 60-90 will be for the dissertation element, Postgraduate Diplomas (120 credits) and Postgraduate Certificates (60 credits) covering only taught modules are also available in a number of subject areas.

Contact hours Contact hours vary widely between programmes: science courses can involve an almost 9-5 schedule of lectures, talks, meetings, and lab sessions; whilst humanities degrees may feature only a few hours of timetabled classes a week, but will require you to undertake a substantial amount of reading and research outside of official teaching hours. If you are studying full-time, expect to be working approximately 40 hours per week towards your degree.

Postgraduate study is much more about collaboration between academics and students than undergraduate study. It’s important to take advantage of this relationship by asking questions and seeking advice in order to excel at your chosen programme.

Research degrees/ Doctoral College This prospectus deals primarily with postgraduate taught programmes. We also offer a full range of postgraduate research degrees supported by the University of Exeter Doctoral College. In addition to Masters by Research, you can also study for Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, as well as a number of professional doctorates (some of which are detailed in this prospectus).

To find out more about studying for a research degree with us, please visit our website: www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate

The life of an MA student is busy. When I applied I was aware there would be a step up, but the levels of commitment demanded from you are pretty large. Not so large that they’re unmanageable, but you do have to dedicate a lot of your life to organisation and reading. That said, this has undoubtedly been the best six months of my life. I can’t wait to begin my dissertation in April.Tom Oberst, MA Classics and Ancient History

Athena SWAN The University is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter which was established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education and research. In May 2015 the Charter was expanded to recognise work undertaken in arts, humanities, social sciences, business and law (AHSSBL), and in professional and support roles, and for trans staff and students. The Charter now recognises work undertaken to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.

The University is proud to have held a Bronze institutional award since 2011 and now holds seven departmental awards; Silver: University of Exeter Medical School, Sport and Health Sciences and the combined disciplines of Biology and Geography at the Penryn Campus; Bronze: Mathematics and Computer Science, Psychology, Geography (Exeter) and Biology (Exeter).

All STEMM departments at Exeter are committed to the Athena SWAN Charter and the departments of Engineering and Physics also made Bronze applications in April 2015.

Further information on the University’s commitment to gender equality can be found at www.exeter.ac.uk/staff/equality/women

INSPIRING RESEARCH

The University of Exeter is a vibrant centre for new ideas and our research makes a difference across the world. Our research income doubled in the five years prior to 2013 and we have a growing reputation for the impact and importance of our research, as evidenced by our very strong performance in the Research Excellence Framework 2014.

Nobody has said ‘no’ to me when I’ve come up with an idea for research. The capacity to say ‘yes’ to new ideas requires vision and confidence, and there’s a progressive culture of support and expectation. Professor Mark Jackson, Research Theme Leader for Medical Humanities

8

Page 11: Postgraduate Prospectus 2016 (PDF)

We are constantly seeking new ways to engage with government, industry, and the community in order to build productive, sustainable partnerships and tackle some of the fundamental issues facing humankind. Our research income has more than doubled in the five years to 2013.

Following the REF HEFCE has awarded us an additional £3.8 million for research, the third highest gain amongst English universities.

We are ranked 16th nationally taking account of the proportion of staff submitted.*

98 per cent of the University of Exeter’s research is of international quality.

This is a significant increase since RAE 2008 when 82 per cent of our research was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent.

Our world-leading (4*) research has increased from 17 per cent to 29 per cent compared to the RAE in 2008.

Our market share of world-leading or internationally excellent research has increased by 22 per cent.

We have nine Units of Assessment in the top 10 nationally for world-leading or internationally excellent research with three in the top five: Theology (2nd), Area Studies, Archaeology (3rd), Politics (5th), Sociology, Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences, Public Health, Biological Sciences.

We rank 16th nationally for world-leading (4*) publications and 11th in the Russell Group.

We are particularly committed to encouraging new ideas and nurturing talent, and as such we boast an extremely high number of early career researchers at Exeter. 30 per cent of our academic staff are early career researchers, a much greater proportion than most other universities. This makes the University of Exeter one of the very best places to pursue postgraduate study and research.

We believe the future of research lies in breaking down traditional barriers between academic disciplines so the bigger problems of the 21st century can be considered from human as well as physical perspectives. We have a number of interdisciplinary research themes, which fit closely with international research priorities, from climate change to conflicts in the Middle East.

We provide a world-class research environment, which we have enriched with more than £280 million investment into infrastructure and staff. This includes the new Environment and Sustainability Institute at our Penryn Campus in Cornwall, the Living Systems Institute currently under development at our Streatham Campus, and radically expanded laboratories, library facilities, and research spaces. This has revolutionised our campuses and made the University of Exeter a genuine destination university for the 21st century.

Doctoral CollegeThe University of Exeter Doctoral College stimulates, supports and sustains a vibrant research and intellectual environment across and between disciplines for postgraduate and early career researchers. Focusing on investment and development in training, resources and facilities, the Doctoral College provides an outstanding experience for those in the early stages of their research careers.

Doctoral Training PartnershipsWe are one of only a handful of universities to have successfully secured Doctoral Training Partnerships with each of the UK Research Councils. These partnerships offer outstanding benefits to postgraduate researchers, from increased access to funding, multi-institution research supervision and collaboration, and integral doctoral skills training.

We offer a broad portfolio of research opportunities, from Masters by Research degrees to MPhil programmes and PhD studentships via our fully-funded Doctoral Training Partnerships. To find out more about undertaking a research degree at the University of Exeter, please see www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate/research

Interdisciplinary research is an engine to innovation and a hallmark of Exeter’s recent success. Our research bridges the gap between the arts, humanities, social sciences and pure sciences to tackle global challenges, such as food security and ageing, in a holistic way.Professor Nick Talbot, Deputy Vice-Chancellor – Research and Knowledge Transfer

The MSc provided excellent training across a range of conservation topics, in addition to analysis and writing peer-reviewed articles, and I have no doubt that the skills acquired during my Masters course have led me to the excellent position that I am in now. I thoroughly enjoyed my MSc course; not only did I learn skills that have helped my career, I also made friends for life and to top it off I got to spend a year in a beautiful part of the world.Tammy Davies, Research Assistant at the North of England Zoological Society (MSc Conservation and Biodiversity 2008)

Over the past few years, Procter & Gamble has begun to actively recruit at the University of Exeter. We have been impressed with the calibre of the University’s students, the willingness of the departments to partner with industry and the great enthusiasm of the students.

Meri Williams, Recruitment Leader for the South West, Procter & Gamble

Money is the single biggest barrier preventing people studying for a postgraduate degree. Securing funding for your Masters is vital to realising your ambitions. The funding landscape for postgraduate education is changing rapidly, and navigating through it can be difficult.

When planning how to fund your postgraduate degree, make sure you start early and think outside of the box; the earlier you start planning the longer you have to research opportunities, or just accumulate savings. Remember to sell yourself in applications for funding too; other people will likely be applying for the same money.

We frequently update our website as policies change and new funding opportunities become available, so please check it regularly.

www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding

How much will it cost?Your tuition fee is only one part of the cost of doing a postgraduate degree: you will also need to account for living costs and accommodation.

Tuition feesTuition fees vary from programme to programme, and are detailed in each of the subject entries at the back of this prospectus (see the inside back cover for the programme index). For Home/EU students, most fall between £7,000 and £12,000.

Accommodation and living costsThe National Union of Students estimates living costs outside of London to be approximately £12,000 per year, including accommodation. This figure is given as a guide only; depending on your priorities and how you budget it could vary significantly in either direction. Outline accommodation costs are detailed on p26.

ScholarshipsScholarships are one of the best ways to help pay for your postgraduate degree. We offer numerous scholarships to encourage exceptional students to apply for Masters programmes. They are often specific to individual programmes and/or students from individual countries or regions.

Scholarships tend to be highly competitive and merit-based, so we recommend investigating options early as deadlines and eligibility vary. Many schemes will not cover full costs, but may go some way to reducing the costs.

You cannot normally hold more than one scholarship awarded by the University, but you can usually apply for as many external schemes as you like.

Alternative fundingBeyond scholarships there are as many ways to pay for your postgraduate studies as there are people undertaking postgraduate study; wages, bursaries, savings, inheritance, and, increasingly, alternative methods such as crowdfunding and philanthropy, are all valid and useful alternative ways of funding your degree.

You can find out more about alternative funding on our website: www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate/ money/alternativefunding

FINANCE AND FUNDING

In my city centre library I looked at the Grants Register, which lists various grants available to local students studying at postgraduate level. My scholarship in particular was aimed at those who had lived in the area where I grew up and had attended college or sixth form within the borough. The application form asked what course I was hoping to study and why I thought it would be beneficial to me and the wider society in the future. I was awarded the full cost of my tuition fees which took a huge weight off my mind!Amy Huxtable, MSc Paediatric Exercise and Health

Postgraduate loan scheme

A new system of postgraduate loans for Masters programmes is being developed for students at English universities. Initially announced as part of the Chancellor’s 2014 Autumn Statement, these government-backed student loans could revolutionise postgraduate funding in the UK.

At the time this prospectus went to print the proposal was still under consultation, so no details were finalised. Loans are proposed to be introduced from 2016 and provide up to £10,000 a year for taught Masters courses in all subject areas.

For up-to-date details please check our website: www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding

Whilst searching for funding for my Masters, I came across a local charity who provide grants to local people to support educational activities. Hearing that they were open for applications, I wrote a short letter explaining I was self-funding a Masters and wondered if they would be able to help. A month later they replied with a cheque for £750.

In recent years we have invested more than £500 million in the facilities across our campuses. This has included new and redeveloped spaces for teaching, learning, research and studying, as well as sport, accommodation and social spaces.

Science

We boast state-of-the-art laboratories for science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine across all our campuses, including the Environment and Sustainability Institute at our Penryn Campus.

At our Streatham Campus we are currently developing the Living Systems Institute (LSI); a £52.5 million interdisciplinary research centre bringing together leading mathematicians, physicists, cell and molecular biologists, biomedical scientists and engineers. Together they will apply investigative techniques from engineering and physics to make biology a predictive as well as an observational science, pioneering an exciting new approach to understanding how diseases evolve and how they can be diagnosed and cured more

effectively. This is our largest single investment in science, and part of an overall investment of £340 million since 2008.

Set in the heart of the beautiful Devon countryside, Exeter is consistently rated as one of the best places to live, work, and study in the UK.

Boasting a high quality of life and low crime rate, a quarter of Exeter’s population study or work at the University, making the city a welcoming environment for students and academics alike, with a vibrant and fun culture and relaxed atmosphere.

With a population of 120,000, there are plenty of cafés, restaurants, pubs and modern shops which sit alongside Exeter’s historic buildings such as the 14th century cathedral. Most new students find that Exeter is not a particularly expensive city in which to live.

Exeter is the administrative and commercial centre of Devon, and the region’s exquisite coastline and impressive national parks are only a short drive, cycle, bus or train journey away.

Streatham Campus The Streatham Campus, the University’s largest site, is built around a country estate overlooking the city and is readily acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in the country.

A Registered Botanic Garden, Streatham Campus is described by The Times as the “best-gardened campus in Britain”. The grounds feature many exotic trees and shrubs and stunning views across the city to the sea at Exmouth. Many students say they simply fell in love with the campus when they came to visit – its lakes, parkland, woodland and gardens make it a very special place that offers a safe and enjoyable environment for study.

www.exeter.ac.uk/visit/campuses/streatham

St Luke’s CampusThe St Luke’s Campus is 15 minutes’ walk from the city centre and just over a mile away from the Streatham Campus across the city. It is home to students in the Graduate School of Education, the department of Sport and Health Sciences, and the University of Exeter Medical School.

Students have studied at St Luke’s for over 150 years and although much has changed over the years, the campus has retained a vibrant, collegiate atmosphere in which everyone soon gets to know each other. The campus benefits from its own library and sports facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool. Students at St Luke’s also take

full advantage of all the academic, social and sporting facilities at the Streatham Campus which is a 25-minute walk or short bus ride away.

www.exeter.ac.uk/visit/campuses/stlukes

The Students’ GuildThe Students’ Guild, our award winning students’ union, is central to student life. The Guild is a dynamic, innovative organisation, existing to represent all students.

LIVING IN CORNWALL

Living in CornwallOur Penryn and Truro campuses are in what many consider to be the UK’s most beautiful county. The Penryn Campus is just a few minutes’ walk from Penryn, home to a rapidly expanding collection of independent cafés, shops, galleries and restaurants, and a railway station with services to Falmouth and the city of Truro (10 and 20 minutes, respectively).

Falmouth is a vibrant student town with a wealth of bars, pubs and restaurants and a lively café culture; its seven beaches, beautiful rivers and world-famous marina attract national and international visitors.

Truro is the most southerly city in England and close to some of the best beaches in the country. The Cathedral’s impressive gothic towers dominate the city skyline, with an exciting array of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities in the surrounding streets.

Penryn CampusThe Penryn Campus is set in 100 acres of countryside, close to the waterside town of Falmouth, and boasts beautiful views over the Fal estuary. It offers peace and tranquillity as well as a lively student community. The campus rates exceptionally well for student satisfaction: students say it’s a highly personal experience, intellectually stretching but great fun, where everyone quickly gets to know their peers.

The campus is shared with Falmouth University. The two institutions have separate teaching and research facilities, but students share accommodation and social spaces, including The Exchange, the Students’ Union www.fxu.org.uk, and campus sports facilities. This creates a vibrant mixture of students from science, engineering, humanities and arts backgrounds, both on campus and in the local area.

www.exeter.ac.uk/visit/campuses/penryn

Truro CampusOur Truro Campus, located in the Knowledge Spa at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, is the base for postgraduate students studying MSc Environment and Human Health (p72). It is also the home of the European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH).

I initially chose to study in Britain based on my knowledge of how taught Masters programmes work here. I wanted a fast-paced, independent, learner-directed style of learning, along with seminar and tutorial-based instruction, and that is what I have received. I also realised that studying in the UK was actually cheaper than studying in the USA.

I chose Exeter based on its reputation in the field among my colleagues in Japan, and because it is located in a less expensive part of Britain with relatively warm weather. This has paid off because the winter has been very snowy in most of the country, but not here!Jeremy Lovell Scott, MEd TESOL

Exeter has a number of leading researchers in my field, as well as an exceptional English department. Having studied as an undergraduate here I was accustomed to Exeter’s teaching and already loved the department, the University, and the campus. I also enjoyed the wide variety of other activities on offer at Exeter which are important to connect with while doing a Masters, I feel, as it can be quite an isolating experience otherwise.

I enjoy the contemporary relevance and creativity of my area of study and the insight it allows me into recent history. Furthermore, I like the focus on popular culture in more recent literary work.Bonnie Stephensmith, MA English Literary Studies

Modules within the programme will build on previous learning. Starting with appendicular skeleton interpretation and reporting the programme then moves to consider axial skeleton image interpretation and reporting. Students will

have opportunities to complete a research methodology module to equip them as comfortable research users and develop skills as researchers who add to the evidence base.

Staff running and teaching on the programme have extensive image interpretation and reporting experience and expertise and provide stimulating and informative lectures. Lectures are supported through blended learning delivered via our online platform and formative self-assessments to allow students to check their own progress.

Those whose roles require image interpretation skills however do not need to undertake full image reports may also attend and complete the programme and will undertake fewer clinical competence assessments. This will provide the grounding to work in areas such as the emergency department or minor injuries where image interpretation is required for clinical decision making purposes but where the reports will be issued from another department or party.

I love the diversity of Classics. In one day you can go from reading a dry historical account to the frothing rage of an ancient satirist, and then back to ancient philosophy or love poetry. With Classics and Ancient History you don’t just study a culture; you study a vibrant world that is familiar and yet delightfully alien.Sam Hayes,MA Classics and Ancient History

Theology and Religion 101

MA TheologyThis is an imaginative and exciting programme designed to reflect the emphases and range of our research culture. All of the available modules offer a great breadth of learning, allowing for plenty of flexibility and room to specialise in the areas that interest you most. To further develop interdisciplinary approaches students may also take a module from another Humanities postgraduate programme or may choose to build up the foundations of their learning with a module from the third year undergraduate Theology and Religion course. Throughout your studies you will benefit from access to the department’s extensive resources and enjoy a close working relationship with our exceptional academic staff. The MA in Theology will help you to develop the research skills and tools to examine the subject in depth, whether or not you choose to pursue an academic career.

The Theology department has an extremely supportive group of staff and an exciting range of research specialisms. There are also postgraduate research seminars available to widen interest. The staff have a great mix of faith backgrounds which is refreshing and very helpful in terms of an open study environment. It is small enough to have a supportive, ‘family’ feel but also has an excellent reputation for research and some well-known theologians on staff.Catherine Matlock, MA Theology
