Recession support from the University

We're putting cash into the economy

The recession has underlined the importance of universities to the local and regional economies. The University of Exeter will deliver £270 million worth of additional economic benefit to the economy in the 2008/09 financial year. If we grow as we expect, we will add a further £83 million a year to the economy by 2012, bringing the total to just under £400 million a year.

Taking a sustainable approach to development

Being a good ‘corporate citizen’ and taking a sustainable approach to development is central to our thinking. We achieved the Platinum standard for universities, based on the Business in the Community Index and have invested in people and resources to drive this work forward. The recession means that a tough couple of years are expected on the financial front, where close attention will need to be paid to costs and further effort made to grow earned income. The positive news is that sound financial planning means the University is well placed to weather the inclement economic conditions and continue to grow and develop in the years ahead.
