Life in

Students at the University of Exeter, whether based at our campuses in Devon or Cornwall, benefit from living in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK.

Exeter is home to our main site, the Streatham Campus on the edge of the city, and St Luke's Campus in the heart of the town. With its Roman origins, gothic cathedral, and legacy of the Blitz, Exeter has an abundance of interesting places to explore. It offers exceptional choice for eating out and fabulous local produce for eating in, as well as stylish big brand or independent shopping. There is an award-winning museum, independent theatre and cinemas in the heart of the city and a busy events calendar contributing to a thriving cultural scene. In 2020, Exeter was awarded UNESCO City of Literature status.  Exeter benefits from a huge amount of green spaces at its heart and on its fringes, not least the University’s own Streatham Campus. Rolling countryside,  Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks, and miles of beautiful coastline make exploring outside the city itself exhilarating and rewarding.

The University of Exeter has two sites in Cornwall; the Penryn Campus, shared with Falmouth University, and the Knowledge Spa in Truro , home to the University's European Centre for Environment and Human Health.

Thanks to its scenic beaches and coves with dramatic clifftop views, Cornwall is one of Britain’s favourite holiday destinations.
