International students
The University warmly welcomes international students and ensures 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 over 4,000 students from over 130 countries outside the UK contribute to a thriving international community across our three campuses.
The University is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside and coastline in the UK. Our campuses are compact and convenient – the teaching buildings, libraries, student accommodation and the social buildings are all close together so it is easy to find your way around. The Streatham and St Luke’s campuses are conveniently located a 15-minute walk or five-minute bus ride from the historic student-friendly city of Exeter, which is two and a half hours from London. Students studying at our Cornwall Campus will find it equally easy to reach Falmouth, a scenic port town situated in beautiful countryside which has a vibrant and friendly student community where you constantly meet people you know. The Cornwall Campus is just over four hours by train from London and approximately two and a half hours by train from Exeter.
You can study a wide variety of subjects, from the traditional to professionally accredited programmes or a unique combination devised through our Flexible Combined Honours scheme. Alternatively you can transfer here for the last two years of your degree and earn an Exeter qualification, or study with us as a visiting student to earn credits towards qualifications at your home university (see the Study Abroad website) or as part of an exchange agreement with one of our 180 partner universities worldwide.
I choose to study Economics and Finance at Exeter because whilst doing my foundation I got really interested in Economics and thought that combining it with Finance was the best option for me as I am also interested in the latter one. The teaching methods are of a high standard and I think online-learning is an awesome thing! Having such opportunities motivates me to study and keeps me interested in what I learn.
When I fist arrived in Exeter I found the Welcome team really helpful. Meeting other international students and people from my course made me feel more comfortable in settling into a new place. In my first year I got involved with Expedition, Debating, Finance, Business and Economics, Kazakh, and International societies as well as with RAG and CA. And this year I am a general secretary in the international society.
I find Exeter to be a perfect mixture of a small but lively city, while studying on a campus provides a safe environment and a greater focus on studies.
