The University of Exeter is one of the most popular Universities in the UK and was ranked #10 in The Times Good University Guide league table. With just over 17,000 students, the University is large enough to provide excellent facilities and a lively atmosphere but not so big that you are just a face in the crowd. The main campus is only a 10-minute walk away from the center of the city and is widely acknowledged to be the most beautiful
in the UK.
Exeter is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the UK. With a population of about 122,000 it is a student-friendly city which combines modern life with a sense of the past. The city is surrounded by some of the most stunning countryside in England and yet is only two hours away from London. Exeter has something for everyone, whether your tastes are for exploring the city or enjoying the countryside.
Students choosing Exeter can benefit from the university's 'buddy program'. International students will be matched with a local Exeter student before arrival. Your buddy will help you get to know the school and area, and help you integrate into local student life.
