About Streatham Campus
The Streatham Campus, the University’s largest site in Exeter, is built around a country estate overlooking the city and is readily acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in the country.
A Registered Botanic Garden, Streatham Campus is described by The Times as the ‘best-gardened campus in Britain’ and by The Independent as having a ‘sublime’ setting. The grounds feature many exotic trees and shrubs and with stunning views across the city to the sea at Exmouth. Many students say they simply fell in love with the campus when they came to visit – its lakes, parkland, woodland and gardens make it a very special place that offers a safe and enjoyable environment for study.
The campus has seen huge investment over the past couple of years, the most ambitious part of which is The Forum, which provides a stunning centrepiece, offering a new Student Services Centre, a refurbished library, new technology-rich learning spaces, a 400-seat lecture theatre, a new University reception and retail and catering outlets.
All the teaching buildings, together with the sports park, the library, the shops, restaurants, cafés and bars are within walking distance of each other. The city centre is only a 15-minute walk away, with catered halls of residence and most of our purpose-built, self-catered flats either on campus or nearby in the city centre.
