Employability

The student view

“I believe having a postgraduate degree (MSc)

from Exeter helped to give me the edge over

other interview candidates, not only because of

the qualification but because of the specialised,

relevant knowledge I acquired through my

studies.”

Employability “Also part of the reason I got the job was the

MSc! Most of the other applicants had really

specific training (dieticians, nutritionists etc) but

the panel felt that I'd had quite a lot of varied

experience in the PCT now and coupled with the

MSc in Sport and Health Sciences they thought

I'd be ideal as an 'all rounder', which was what

they wanted. So thanks guys!!”
