University of Exeter Cornwall Campus
This is where we’re solving it
Home to a close-knit community solving some of the biggest issues in today’s world.
Cornwall – life is different here
Discover a vibrant community where sustainability and innovation are at the heart of everything we do.
In Cornwall, we’ve been bringing learning and lifestyle together for more than 20 years. Thanks to our community’s smaller size, you’ll study closely with world-leading experts while gaining a career base of transferable skills, experiencing immersive fieldwork, and enjoying opportunities for industry placements. Only minutes from Falmouth and its beautiful beaches, our Penryn Campus is renowned for student satisfaction and its thriving cultural scene, while our clinical facilities in Truro provide a valuable learning hub for University of Exeter Medical School students.
As well as being a unique location for learning, we’re a centre for globally recognised research across themes from renewable energy and mining engineering, sustainable development and environmental justice, to conservation and sustainable business. We’re proud to apply our international expertise to local partnerships, and bring over £16 million in research income into Cornwall every year.
