Rory McCarthy

What did you enjoy most about your degree programme?

The access to practitioners who offered their advice, insight, and expertise on applying what they learned on the MA CSD course into real world  scenarios. Listening to experts and academics was illuminating in bringing to life what I learned on the course. 

What was the highlight of your time at Exeter?

The academic staff have been amazing and supportive at all stages. They were always available and helpful. 

What will you miss the most about University?

Living in a beautiful and vibrant city that was so close to stunning scenery such as Dartmoor and Exmoor.

What advice would you give to current and future students?

Immerse fully into University life and select one or two pursuits you want to become involved in rather than trying to do lots of things. It’s the best way to make friends.

What are your plans now that you have graduated?

I am working in the MOD and applying what I learned into real world dynamic situations, advising senior leadership and management on how to proceed.
