"Students at Exeter are likely to have permanent smiles on their faces: it has campuses in the cathedral city and also near Falmouth in Cornwall, as well as plenty of coastline, countryside and glorious weather."The Guardian, May 2009

Your voice as a student
Student-Staff Liaison Committees
Student-Staff Liaison Committees (SSLCs) are student-run forums for suggestions and feedback to and from the School staff. They are fairly informal committees, chaired by one of the student representatives, which meets about once a term.
SSLCs exist as a forum for students and staff to work together in a spirit of co-operation, giving you the opportunity to voice your opinions about studying in the School of Geography. The School recognises the importance of these forums and the Committees are consulted on a wide range of issues and possible developments.
SSLCs include representatives from each year and each programme. Their job is to provide a point of contact for the students on their programmes. Staff membership is always the minority, ensuring that the Committee is student-oriented.
Module and course evaluation
Feedback from students is requested for every module. Module leaders receive this feedback and are required to respond to the scores and comments received via the Annual Module Review process. The responses are subsequently shared with students.
