12. 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.”

13. 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!!”
