The University of Exeter traces its origins to the nineteenth-century, and received its Royal Charter (full University status) in 1955.
Exeter currently ranks in the Top 20 UK Universities (out of 100+) in all the major league tables – The Times, Sunday Times, Telegraph, Independent and Guardian newspapers. It was also named UK University of the Year 07-08 by the Times Higher Education Supplement.
Exeter has around 14,000 students across three campuses – two in Exeter, and one near Falmouth in Cornwall. The University is large enough to offer excellent facilities and support services, but is still small enough to retain a very safe and friendly atmosphere. This may reflect in our fantastic student satisfaction ratings; Exeter has ranked in the Top 10 for student satisfaction for three consecutive years according to the National Student Survey. Furthermore in the 2007-08 survey, ten subjects were rated No 1 in the UK for overall satisfaction: Business, Management, Accounting, Finance, Mechanically-based Engineering, Physics, Archaeology, Classics, German, Sport Science.
