Luisa María, studying MA Theatre Practice
"What drew me to Exeter was the balance of my course, because it catered to both my needs in the theory and practice-based fields. And seeing that it was very well ranked in my general field helped me confirm that I would be getting a good level of education.
Additionally, from researching the University, I could see the University offers a good social life and extra curricular opportunities."
