Exeter is the administrative and commercial centre of Devon, and the region’s exquisite coastline and impressive national parks are only a short drive, cycle, bus or train journey away. 5 Exeter celebrates history and embraces today... its thriving nightlife, lively cultural scene and rich history make it well worth a visit. This old city is young at heart thanks to a large student crowd and plenty of bars, clubs and cafés, especially around the revitalised quay area. Lonely Planet Guide to Great Britain PRINCESSHAY, EXETER CITY CENTRE 6 The location of the Penryn Campus was a big factor in my decision to study here. I was a keen windsurfer before I started studying here and the location of the campus has allowed me to continue sailing in the evenings and weekends. It’s also a very relaxed way of life, with plenty to do.

  • The University of Exeter<Br>
    News from the Universities The University of Exeter Initiatives in local, regional and community history The University of Exeter now operates on two separate campuses, Streatham Campus in Exeter and, since 2005, Tremough Campus near Falmouth, Cornwall. History at Exeter has expanded considerably in the last decade, partly as a result of the opening of the Tremough campus. There are now 27 full-time staff based at Streatham and another 10 in Tremough, with research interests extending from early Medieval Britain to post- Communist Eastern Europe. In the last five years there has also been a considerable intensification of activity in local and regional history, as History has sought to forge links with local community groups, institutions and other charitable and business organisations. In many respects staff at Tremough have taken the lead in developing these connections. A strong civic dimension has been developed within the History cluster at Tremough, with significant engagement with the Cornish community at a variety of levels. This was based initially on the long-standing work of the Institute of Cornish Studies, part of the University of Exeter but part-funded by Cornwall Council, and located in Cornwall well before the establishment of the Cornwall Campus. Since the early 1990s, the Institute has focused on issues of identity in modern Cornwall, which it has explored through a variety of methods—for example, biography, demography and oral history—and which has led among other things to the establishment of strong links with the overseas Cornish diaspora and to the publication of the annual volume Cornish Studies (University of Exeter Press).

    A STUDENT GUIDE TO LIFE IN CORNWALL Cornwall boasts a wealth of beautiful beaches and coves, dramatic landscapes and clifftop views. It also has a rich history of artistic and scientific innovation, making it a fascinating and stimulating place to study. In this guide, our students tell us what they love most about living in Cornwall and how you can make the most of your time here. From paddle boarding to festivals, volunteering to enjoying local food and drink, there is something for everybody. Students choose to study at our Penryn Campus not just for the quality and strength of our research-led teaching, but also for the lifestyle. Set in 100 acres of the UK’s most scenic countryside, and close to the waterside town of Falmouth, our Penryn Campus is unique, being shared and managed jointly with Falmouth University. Whilst we have separate teaching and research facilities, our students share accommodation and social spaces which creates a vibrant mix of students from science, engineering, humanities and arts backgrounds. Some of our students give an insight into the very different routes they took to studying at the Penryn Campus. I chose to come to the Penryn Campus because of the combined BSc/BA Geography course, which you don’t find elsewhere. Geography courses are I chose this university because of the usually split into separate BA and BSc quiet environment to study and the degrees, but the combination of the two allowed me graduate job prospects upon finishing. to study both human and physical geography topics Living on the Penryn Campus has been a whilst having the option of graduating with a BSc or series of awesome moments with other BA.
