International students

Exeter is the 8th safest university town and 35 per cent safer than average university towns.
Endsleigh Insurance Report, 2008

According to a survey conducted in Autumn 2008 by the Graduate Insight Group, i-graduate, over 83 per cent of international students would recommend the University of Exeter, and in 2008 we were nominated for a Times Higher Award for International Student Support.

We warmly welcome international students and ensure that you have all the support you need, both before you arrive and whilst you are studying with us, to help you make the most of your time in the UK. At present around 2,100 students from over 100 countries contribute to a thriving international community across our three campuses. Our campuses provide a safe and friendly environment for study with easy access to the nearby town centres, and some of the most beautiful countryside and coastline within easy reach.

Exeter has good weather compared to most other places in the UK. The large number of international students and the opportunity to strike up friendships beyond borders makes this place tick.
