Welcome to the University of Exeter

We’re all looking forward to welcoming you personally to the University of Exeter during Freshers’ Week. But before then there are lots of things to consider and prepare for! You’ll have received a number of student support emails already outlining key things you need to do or be aware of before you arrive.

Professor Sir Steve Smith, our Vice-Chancellor, has recorded some videos welcoming you to the University, which you can watch below. We’ve also created a student checklist to help you prepare for life at the University of Exeter.
