Key statistics

Exeter  has over 2000 years of history , diverse cultural scene with large numbers of theatres and live music venues to enjoy. Its proximity to countryside allows students to participate in outdoor sports. One of the lesser-known recipes for happiness is to live in a place where other people choose to go on holiday. Students at Exeter are likely to have permanent smiles on their faces: it has campuses in the cathedral city and also near Falmouth, in Cornwall, as well as plenty of coastline, countryside and glorious weather. Add to that the fact that the Streatham campus is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country and it's no wonder that increases in applications far exceed the national average. Of course, you'll have to do some work, too - Exeter has an excellent academic reputation.
