Find out about our campus atmosphere, locations and general environment.
Background
Our university has 3 campuses: Streatham and St. Luke’s in Exeter, and Penryn near Falmouth in Cornwall (find out more about support and studying at Penryn here). Our university has around 30,000 students from a wide variety of different backgrounds and cultures, and we employ approximately 6,500 staff. This means that campus can be very busy at times.
You can see our campus maps here.
Each course the university runs has its own webpage, and you can find lots of information about what to expect and pictures of some of your teaching spaces there: Undergraduate courses and Postgraduate courses
The campus offers a library, sports park, research facilities, gardens, theatre, multi-faith chaplaincy and a range of student services, which are mainly housed in the Forum. Eating places include the Forum Kitchen and iSCA Eats. There is on-campus accommodation in a range of purpose-built blocks with catered and self-catered options.
How could this affect me?
The campus is bigger than you might be used to at School or College and getting lost is common for new students and when timetables change. Becoming familiar with key buildings and locations may help you to prepare.
