This is the University of Exeter

Whether you’re at our Streatham Campus, or St Luke’s, or in Cornwall at Penryn, there’s always something to do. Our courses, our campuses, our community. Societies, sports, seminars. The libraries, campus cat, the laundrettes. National parks, beaches, a coffee with friends. Band practice. A drink in the Ram after lectures. Pointing a telescope at the sun. Wet Wednesday football. Pets as therapy at the chaplaincy. This is the University of Exeter.

What makes us different
