The University of Exeter combines world-class research and education with high student satisfaction at our campuses in Exeter and Cornwall. We are a member of the Russell Group, which comprise the UK’s leading research-intensive universities. We are proud of our achievements but we remain ambitious for the future.
Formed in 1955, the University of Exeter has gone from strength to strength becoming the UK’s fastest rising research university over the past decade. This is thanks to:
- 98% of our research being rated as of international quality (REF 2014), which resulted in the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) awarding us an extra £3.8m for research – the third highest gain among English universities
- our research being ranked among the most influential (Altmetric Top 100, 2020)
- our financial results continuing to show a positive trajectory of research performance with research income of £87m in 2019/20, up 14% on 2017/18
- receiving in excess of 100 PhD studentships annually, funded by UKRI (formerly Research Councils UK)
We seek to challenge, encourage and support our talented researchers, educators, and students to achieve more than they ever thought possible, recruiting the very best people from around the world. We enable academics from different disciplines to work together challenging conventional thinking about the world we want to live in and changing it for the better. As a result, our research impacts on the most fundamental challenges facing the world today, from dementia and diabetes to climate change, pollution by plastics and global security.
