When A level results come out on August 10, more than three quarters of students who want to go to university are likely to get into their first choice. But not everyone will have secured their places – but it doesn’t mean you won’t get a degree if you still want to, or travel far from home to get one.

Last year, a record number of students – more than 70,000 - found university places through Clearing – a system which helps universities match students who don’t have a place to courses which still have space.

“This summer, once again we will be offering Clearing places and...

What could online movies mean for Exeter’s theatres?

Formerly the domain of theatres alone, modern systems have shifted how we access movies, and not always in a good way. With concerns over regional economics, recent developments have brought into question how existing theatres operate, and whether those in Exeter could experience negative effects due to the changing climate.
