THE FORUM, STREATHAM CAMPUS 2 WELCOME TO YOUR UNIVERSITY
Home of world-class research, teaching and facilities, Exeter is one of the top universities in the world.
Our students tell us that what sets us apart from other universities is our approach. Our aim is to put you first in everything we do, helping you to become a graduate with the knowledge, skills and attitude to excel. With around 22,000 students including around 18,000 undergraduates, we are large enough to offer the academic excellence and facilities you’d expect but small enough to feel friendly and welcoming. Our beautiful campuses in Exeter and Cornwall are ideal places to study and live. Join us for an Open Day (see inside the back cover) to experience what Exeter has to offer first-hand.
REED HALL, STREATHAM CAMPUS 3
The fantastic setting, with its beautiful and historic surroundings mixed with the exciting new buildings, made Exeter stand out for me. Another thing was how welcoming everyone was, which made me feel like I would be accepted here. I can say without a doubt that I do not regret choosing Exeter. I have had the best years of my life here, and the opportunities will allow me to succeed beyond university in my chosen career.

Since starting university I feel like I’ve become more confident as a person. I’ve been able to meet, work alongside and become friends with people from all walks of life from all over the world. It’s an experience that is unique to university life. I’d definitely recommend studying at Exeter. Not only is Exeter a beautiful place to live, but it’s also such a great learning environment. I find it really easy to talk to my lecturers about the course content or even just things that interest me and the University is constantly improving facilities to supplement our learning. There is so much support available to aid your studies and future career as well as your general wellbeing. I feel like, when I leave, I will be well-rounded and ready for what the world has to throw at me. Rianna, studying Materials Engineering 7

Students respond positively to how we do this; they report exceptionally high levels of satisfaction with academic staff, improved communication skills and confidence. Issues related to the environment and sustainability underpin much of the campus’s ethos; these themes recur throughout our degree programmes as well as in student societies, clubs and the running of the campus. The 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. The campus won a prestigious Green Flag Award in 2017. In 2016 a new £4 million sports centre and nursery opened on campus. More recent additions include the Renewable Energy Engineering Facility (REEF) and a £1.2 million Masters Suite. www.exeter.ac.uk/visit/campuses/penryn TRURO CAMPUS Our Truro Campus at the Royal Cornwall Hospital hosts third and fourth-year medical students gaining practical experience as well as a number of students undertaking Masters- level study.

Cornwall has a thriving cultural scene. Here are our top tips for feeding your creative side.
FILMS, PERFORMANCE AND COMEDY The Academy of Music and Theatre Arts (AMATA) on campus provides purpose-built facilities for students and visiting performers. We also have a cinema on campus in the Media Centre. Falmouth has the five-screen Phoenix Cinema, along with The Poly, which offers film, theatre, comedy and other events. The Minack, a theatre cut out of the cliffs at Porthcurno, is as striking as it sounds. The internationally-renowned Kneehigh Theatre offers ground breaking work, and Truro’s Hall for Cornwall hosts national music, comedy, dance and theatre tours. MUSIC The Stannary, with a 1,400-person capacity, is the social hub of the campus and is one of Cornwall’s best venues, with gigs, comedy and regular club nights. Off-campus, the Eden Project’s annual Eden Sessions bring high-profile artists to Cornwall every year. Falmouth’s Princess Pavilion hosts national and local musicians and the town’s many bars and pubs also feature lots of live shows.
There are plenty of ways to get involved in music on and off campus. FXU can provide lots of information on community-based music and performance groups. ART Cornwall has attracted artists for generations. Nearby Falmouth is a good place to start, with many galleries and studios. Further afield, there’s Tate St Ives as well as many galleries throughout Cornwall, particularly around Penzance and Newlyn.

I chose to study Geology at the University of Exeter because of the amazing location and that my programme is very hands-on. I’ve made friends for life on this programme and learnt about some really cutting-edge topics that have got me even more interested in my subject. I love all the field trips we’ve gone on as I have had the opportunity to learn about some really amazing places. Outside of studying, I have been supported in setting up the ‘Geoadventures’ society where we take lecturers and students out to explore different geological sites by doing various outdoor activities. The department has been great in supporting our society. We have even been awarded the Annual Fund, and also several college awards! WHY NOT CONSIDER...?

The ethos cultivated by the University of Exeter was what ultimately won me over to come here. The course is undoubtedly challenging and would be a whole lot harder if we didn’t have the resources or the support of our personal tutors. However, the course is also rewarding; before university I never thought I would have written a computer game or made a map of the Milky Way. As someone who just loves physics these are things I’ll be proud of and remember when I graduate from here. Leonardo, studying Physics
