This was really helpful! I'm struggling to choose between Exeter and Edinburgh at the moment, could you do an interview with an Exeter student? :)

[@ratemydegree]

Yes! Any other courses/unis you want us to cover?

[@TheMarthaBlog14]

@@ratemydegree Exeter liberal arts if possible?! I’ve applied for it at other unis too like Nottingham :)

I'm also caught between Edinburgh and Exeter - try and consider the length of the courses - the 'MA' at Edinburgh a 4 year course - the equivalent of an English uni bachelors degree, and can be quite deceiving as it looks like a masters. Also remember course rankings and Uni prestige, Exeter currently has a v good history department but edinburgh is more recognised in international rankings.
