At the University of Exeter, you will find engaged, inclusive, and safe communities, with plenty of opportunities to make life-long friends from all over the world. We offer degree courses across 40 subject areas and provide great choice, flexibility and opportunities to expand your horizons. Field trips and the chance to study or work abroad are a key feature of many of our degrees.
Work experience and study abroad
Many of our degrees offer ‘year abroad’ options which can help you develop a range of valuable skills. These give you either a professional work placement or a year’s study at one of our prestigious international partner universities. You could pick up a new language, learn about different cultures and make lasting friendships. Many destinations are in English-speaking countries or universities, so you don’t necessarily need to know another language. Usually taken during your third year of study, this additional year will provide you with valuable skills attractive to global employers. Many work placements are also available in the UK if you want to stay closer to home but still gain valuable work experience.
Field trips
Field work is an essential part of many of our degrees, and an exciting optional extra for many others. We offer a range of field trip opportunities and our students can be found doing fascinating things in all sorts of locations. You can find full details of field trip modules on the programme pages on our website.
Summer schools
You can also take advantage of study opportunities during the summer vacation. Taught by our world-class academics and external experts, our summer schools offer the chance to learn new skills and acquire knowledge while interacting with people from all over the world.
Build your own degree
We have several ways that you can shape your degree, from multidisciplinary courses like Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences, to the opportunity to study modules from outside your main subject.
Flexible Combined Honours (FCH)
Flexible Combined Honours lets you combine any two or even three subjects from across the entire university, as long as they can be timetabled together and you meet any entry criteria. You can choose how you split your credits between each subject and build your own bespoke degree. What you choose to study determines the exact wording on your degree certificate when you graduate.
Proficiency in Law
Students studying on the Penryn Campus can add a specified number of law modules to their programme to obtain their degree ‘with proficiency in law’ (e.g. ‘Environmental Science with Proficiency in Law’).
Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences
Our two flagship multidisciplinary courses let you study complementary subjects. In Liberal Arts you choose a major from the humanities or social sciences, and core Liberal Arts modules introduce real-world issues and skills that cut across disciplines. Natural Sciences gives you a foundation across the sciences before allowing you to specialise.
Free-choice modules
The majority of our courses usually allow you to study up to 30 credits outside of your subject each year – out of 120 total – assuming timetabling works and you meet any necessary criteria. You could add a Marketing module to your English degree, drop some Philosophy into Computer Science or study a new language – it’s completely up to you.
Language Centre
The Language Centre offers daytime credit-bearing language modules that you can integrate into your degree and evening language courses you can study alongside your degree. Some of these courses offer an accreditation, allowing you to gain an additional qualification on top of your degree.

Our campuses With beautiful green campuses in Devon and Cornwall, we’re a university of the whole South West. Our campuses offer a mix of historic buildings and modern facilities, but there’s plenty more to explore on the doorstep – including beautiful beaches, spectacular countryside, and exciting culture, food and arts.
Streatham Campus, Exeter
One of the most beautiful campuses in the country, our Streatham Campus on the edge of Exeter in Devon offers an unrivalled study environment, with parkland and gardens to enjoy throughout the year. The centrepiece of Streatham Campus is the stunning Forum which is home to a modern 24/7 library, technology-rich learning spaces, a 400-seat lecture theatre and a variety of retail and catering outlets.
Penryn Campus, Cornwall
Our innovative Penryn Campus in Cornwall has stunning buildings set in a beautiful location close to the waterside town of Falmouth. Shared with Falmouth University, it is a unique place to study. The Penryn Campus is constantly developing, most recently the £12 million extension to the existing Science and Engineering Research Support Facility (SERSF), which builds upon the £30 million investment in the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI). Cumulatively, these facilities put not only the University, but also Cornwall as a whole, at the forefront of research aiming to solve problems associated with environmental change. Other recent additions include the Renewable Energy Engineering Facility (REEF), a £1.2 million Masters Suite and a £4 million sports centre and nursery.
St Luke’s Campus, Exeter
St Luke’s Campus, in the heart of Exeter, has been home to teaching in education since 1855. Now education, sport and medical students enjoy its vibrant collegiate atmosphere and historic setting. Exeter’s St Luke’s Campus is home to a range of academic facilities including a library, IT facilities, modern seminar rooms and lecture theatres. Sports facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool, sports hall and an air-conditioned health and fitness studio. We invested £1.7 million in Cross Keys, a high-quality multipurpose space on campus. This has created a social heart to St Luke’s Campus, including a café and a large space for students to meet, eat and study. A £10.5 million upgrade to the South Cloisters provides additional, cutting-edge teaching and research space along with new dedicated space for the teaching of Medical Imaging.
Truro Campus, Cornwall
Our Truro Campus is situated at the Knowledge Spa on the Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) site, and is the base for University of Exeter Medical School students studying for a proportion of their Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) degree during years 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Our campuses
With beautiful green campuses in Devon and Cornwall, we’re a university of the whole South West. Our campuses offer a mix of historic buildings and modern facilities, but there’s plenty more to explore on the doorstep – including beautiful beaches, spectacular countryside, and exciting culture, food and arts.
Streatham Campus, Exeter
One of the most beautiful campuses in the country, our Streatham Campus on the edge of Exeter in Devon offers an unrivalled study environment, with parkland and gardens to enjoy throughout the year. The centrepiece of Streatham Campus is the stunning Forum which is home to a modern 24/7 library, technology-rich learning spaces, a 400-seat lecture theatre and a variety of retail and catering outlets.
Penryn Campus, Cornwall
Our innovative Penryn Campus in Cornwall has stunning buildings set in a beautiful location close to the waterside town of Falmouth. Shared with Falmouth University, it is a unique place to study. The Penryn Campus is constantly developing, most recently the £12 million extension to the existing Science and Engineering Research Support Facility (SERSF), which builds upon the £30 million investment in the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI). Cumulatively, these facilities put not only the University, but also Cornwall as a whole, at the forefront of research aiming to solve problems associated with environmental change. Other recent additions include the Renewable Energy Engineering Facility (REEF), a £1.2 million Masters Suite and a £4 million sports centre and nursery.
St Luke’s Campus, Exeter
St Luke’s Campus, in the heart of Exeter, has been home to teaching in education since 1855. Now education, sport and medical students enjoy its vibrant collegiate atmosphere and historic setting. Exeter’s St Luke’s Campus is home to a range of academic facilities including a library, IT facilities, modern seminar rooms and lecture theatres. Sports facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool, sports hall and an air-conditioned health and fitness studio. We invested £1.7 million in Cross Keys, a high-quality multipurpose space on campus. This has created a social heart to St Luke’s Campus, including a café and a large space for students to meet, eat and study. A £10.5 million upgrade to the South Cloisters provides additional, cutting-edge teaching and research space along with new dedicated space for the teaching of Medical Imaging.
Truro Campus, Cornwall
Our Truro Campus is situated at the Knowledge Spa on the Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) site, and is the base for University of Exeter Medical School students studying for a proportion of their Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) degree during years 2, 3, 4 and 5.
At the University of Exeter we have a variety of different facilities to enhance your student experience:
Libraries:
We have dedicated libraries on all our campuses, and our Streatham and Penryn libraries are open 24/7 during term time. We have 1.2m e-books and 1m print books across our campuses as well as thousands of other digital resources, and our collections are expanding all the time. We also manage internationally important collections of manuscripts and rare items in our Special Collections and the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum.
Learning spaces:
For our students who prefer to study on campus, we provide quiet and group study spaces across our campuses. Most of our major academic buildings have study spaces and computer rooms available, with Wi-Fi and power sockets.
Subject related facilities:
Each of our subjects maintains the highest level of specific learning facilities – from rehearsal studios and costume collections for Drama, to laboratories and clean rooms for sciences.
IT services:
From the iExeter mobile app and student portal – where you can access your timetable, email, library account and much more – to our highspeed wired and wireless network across our campuses and halls of residence, we make sure you have all the IT support you need to succeed.
Digital learning:

Student life
Your experience at university is about much more than studying. Societies, sports, student media and nightlife are just some of the activities that people talk about most enthusiastically. Depending on your choice of degree, you may be based at our Streatham Campus or St Luke’s Campus in Exeter, or at our Penryn Campus or Truro Campus in Cornwall. Both locations offer green campuses in some of the most beautiful parts of the country.
Whichever of our campuses you study at, you’ll have lots of opportunities to try new things, develop existing hobbies and skills, or do more of what you love. Your university experience can be anything you want it to be.
Accommodation
It’s important to have somewhere to call home when you go to university. Whether you want catered or self-catered, on or off campus, we have dedicated accommodation to suit you. Wherever you choose, living in university accommodation is a great way to expand your world by meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures, studying different subjects.
Our accommodation website for our Exeter campuses and Penryn Campus gives you full details of all our residences, and can guide you through how to choose where you want to live.
Students’ Unions
The students’ unions in Exeter and Penryn provide elective student representatives who champion students and drive change. The unions also organise events and entertainment, societies and groups, and offer advice and support whilst you are a student.
At our Exeter campuses there is the Exeter Students’ Guild and at our Cornwall campuses there is The Falmouth and Exeter Students’ Union. You are automatically a member of one of these the moment you register as a student, so make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities on offer.
Clubs and Societies
Our student-led societies bring together students with similar interests as well as provide opportunities to try something new and different. We have around 400 societies that you can get involved with. If there’s a society you want that we don’t have, we’ll help you set it up. The full list is available on the Guild website and on The SU website.
Sport
Sport is an important part of the student experience, and we believe sport and wellness should be embedded in student life. We are renowned for our sporting reputation and we pride ourselves on inclusivity – catering for all abilities from casual sports enthusiasts to high performance athletes. Our superb facilities allow us to offer a large variety of participation opportunities for all students.
We’re the number one sports university in the south of England and Wales, and we frequently finish top 5 in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) rankings each year. Our sports clubs and fitness classes offer something for everyone.
