Year 1 Study Groups- Thanks to so many of you, the Year 1 Study Groups kicked off last month. Nearly 200 students have signed up to participate in a study group. This is a great community learning opportunity, and by pioneering this study group initiative you are not only helping yourself and your fellow group members, you are also helping future law students by leading the way.
While most of your time together comes from self-organized activities, there are bi-weekly large group meetings that appear on your Timetables. During these Timetabled sessions, Peer Tutors provide valuable presentations on study methods and strategies. Plus, getting together as a big group to share tips and experiences is turning out to be fun!
If you are interested in joining a study group, it’s not too late, please contact: a.herbert1@gmail.com
Year 1 Online Café – Thursdays in March 13:30-14:15- Between lectures and over lunch on Thursdays, join us for an online Café for some Year 1 chat on March 10, 17, 24, and 31. We’ll have guests discuss a variety of topics from well-being to employability, as well as have some fun with guest faculty.
Your Timetable will have a link to the Thursday cafés and the sessions will be posted online.
Peer Tutors – The Exeter Law Peer Tutors are extremely happy to announce the launch of a new Instagram page to go alongside the brilliant reform of the peer tutoring programme.

The National Student Survey (NSS) 2022 is currently open to all final year undergraduate students in the UK. The NSS has been running for 17 years now, meaning that students before you have also provided their feedback to help improve the University experience for others.
The survey only takes around five minutes to complete and all of your responses will remain strictly confidential. It asks you to consider the whole of your time at our University and you can also write comments about your experience. All of these comments will be read by the teams from your College and degree subject. It is very important that we hear your views on your entire educational experience, as your valuable feedback directly shapes the future of the University.
The University will once again donate £1 to charity for every survey that is completed, via Raise and Give (RAG) in Exeter and Raise and Donate (RAD) in Cornwall. Last year that led to a donation of £4,000 which was distributed to charities.
