91% of University of Exeter students in their final year are satisfied with the quality of their university course.
The latest National Student Survey (NSS) has found that 85% of students are satisfied with their degree, meaning the University of Exeter has maintained its top 10 position for its ninth year, since the survey’s launch.
The University of Exeter usually scores highly on league tables and, in 2012, was deemed “Sunday Times University of the Year 2012/13”.
Professor Janice Kay, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Exeter, said:
The biggest issue in new under resourced businesses is the large gap between “think and do” and that goes both ways to “do and don’t think” as well. People who spend their valuable time doing “don’t think” about their business, and people who think about their businesses, don’t have the time or resource to implement that thinking.
The problem is “I know what to do but I don’t know when I am going to do it” the most common cry in any young business and the biggest reason for them failing in the first three years. In any business there are things that have to be done, things that...

Essential improvement work is to be carried out on pavements in Exeter High Street next month.
The 11 week scheme, which will improve the surface of the footway on the majority of High Street, will start from the upper end, near Boots, on Monday 9 September.
No major excavation work will be carried out, but granite paving slabs which are cracked, loose or rocking will be replaced in order to prevent them becoming a safety issue.
The opportunity will also be taken to carry out some surface drainage work improvements.
Bottled water epitomises the destructive, extravagant and wasteful nature of our modern society. In comparative terms it is very expensive, not necessary for good health and its packaging and distribution have enormous negative effects on the environment.
Bottled water can be 500 times more expensive than tap water. For example when I checked today (15 Aug 13) a 500ml bottle of Buxton from a nearby motorway services cost £2.29. That’s £4.58 a litre, three times the price of petrol at the same location! I couldn’t find the local price per litre of tap water however I do have a...

According to research by money-saving taxi app, TaxiTastic ( www.taxitastic.co.uk ), East Devon is the most expensive place in England to leave the taxi meter running, costing £28 an hour, compared to low rates such as £6 in Redcar and Cleveland.

With a huge 2,500% variation in taxi waiting time charges across the country, it pays to know the rates for the area you’re in to avoid stacking up high fares when stuck in traffic or leaving the taxi waiting as you take an extra five...
