Civic University Agreement Exeter

The anchor partners of the Exeter University Agreement are:

  • University of Exeter
  • Exeter City Council
  • Exeter College
  • Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust

The Civic University Agreement Exeter recognises that the University is fundamentally linked to the place and people of Exeter. At the heart of this Agreement is a belief that partnership is the catalyst that sets progress in motion. Partnerships within our City are now more important than ever, as we seek to ensure a thriving yet sustainable economy, healthy and happy people, a vibrant culture and a spirit that connects us all with a pride of place and a determination to keep moving forward together.

Our missions present clear calls to action for the University and our partners:

Support the sustainable and inclusive growth of the city


Deliver a net zero Exeter


Build a city of aspiration and opportunity


Support an ambitious culture and tourism offer


Enhance the health and wellbeing of our citizens
