Campus and location
1. Streatham Campus
Exeter’s picturesque Streatham Campus, set in parkland, is one of the most beautiful in the UK. More than £350 million has been invested in the campuses and facilities over the last five years, including its iconic centrepiece ‘The Forum’. With the city centre only a 10-minute bus ride away, Exeter offers the advantages of a campus-based university without missing out on city life.
2. St Luke’s Campus
On the eastern side of Exeter city centre, St Luke’s Campus is more than 160 years old and home to the University of Exeter’s Medical School, Department of Allied Health Professions, Sport and Health Sciences, and Academy of Nursing. Although it’s smaller than the Streatham Campus, St Luke’s has a vibrant atmosphere among its close-knit student community.
3. Penryn Campus
Based by the beautiful beaches of Cornwall, the Penryn Campus is known for its student satisfaction. With around 6,000 students, the campus is full of creativity, friendliness and energy. The University has been consistently developing the campus with a recent £12 million extension to the Science and Engineering Research Support Facility, a £30 million investment in the Environment and Sustainability Institute, and a new Renewable Energy Engineering Facility.
