The St Luke’s Campus enjoys a vibrant, collegiate atmosphere.
In the first two years, medical school students are primarily based at the University’s St Luke’s Campus in Exeter which is close to the Royal Devon and Exeter Foundation NHS Hospital. Students studying for the BClinSci will also be taught at the Streatham Campus which is about a mile and a half away on the other side of the city centre.
Students have studied at St Luke’s for over 150 years and the campus enjoys a vibrant, collegiate atmosphere in which everyone soon gets to know each other. As you walk through the arches of the traditional North Cloisters you will see the lawns of the quadrangle surrounded by modern teaching buildings, including the Medical School building. The campus has self-catered accommodation nearby. Find out more about our accommodation
Academic facilities include a comprehensive and modern library, which has recently undergone a £1 million refurbishment, IT facilities and support, and modern seminar rooms and lecture theatres. The Life Sciences Resource Centre and a telematic lecture theatre are also on site. The Clinical Skills Resource Centre is based across the road at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. St Luke’s also has excellent facilities for sport including a sports hall, an air-conditioned health and fitness studio and an indoor heated swimming pool.
Our Students’ Guild is recognised as one of the UK’s leading students’ unions. It is a dynamic, innovative and award-winning organisation. It organises many events and activities on the St Luke’s Campus, which students of the Medical School take full advantage of along with all the academic, social and sporting facilities at the Streatham Campus. The two campuses are about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride apart and buses run frequently.
Societies
In Exeter, thousands of students sign up to over 170 different Guild-affiliated societies. These societies cover a wide range of activities enabling our students to get fully involved with university life. Societies range from Archaeology, Jazz Orchestra and the Expedition Society to the Lit Soc, Photosoc, Ski Club and Welsh Societies. If there’s a club you want that we don’t have, we’ll help you set it up. See the full list of societies.
