Winter Graduation Brochure - Saturday 16 December

CONGREGATION FOR THE

CONFERMENT OF DEGREES WINTER 2023

THE MACE AND ARMORIAL BEARINGS OF THE UNIVERSITY The Mace was presented to the University in 1933 by University architect Emanuel Vincent Harris. It is approximately four feet long with a solid silver shaft and head. The finial at the top contains a representation in enamel of the University’s coat of arms. This symbolises the historical associations of the University with the locality. The triangular gold castle with three towers comes from Exeter’s coat of arms and is thought to represent the Rougemont Castle as alluded to by the red background. The 15 gold bezants around the edge of the shield are from Cornwall’s coat of arms, whilst the green cross on a white background is from Devon County Council’s coat of arms. The theme of learning is symbolised by the book with gold edges and a Latin inscription translating roughly as “We follow the light”.

History

Order of ceremony

The Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees is the occasion whereby a ‘graduand’ receives the degree of the university. He or she is then known as an alumnus or alumna and is entitled to use post-nominal letters.

• Processions enter

The ceremony has its origins in medieval times. This is reflected in the use of Latin phrases such as in absentia for graduands being awarded in their absence and honoris causa which is applied to honorary degrees.

Processions enter in the following order after the Marshal’s address:

Academic dress of gown, cap and hood worn by graduates, University officers and academic colleagues also originated in the medieval period. The varying colours of the gowns and hoods and the subtle variations in their style and cut, indicate the degree obtained and the awarding university.

Music The music for the ceremonies is performed by the Chapel Choir and Graduation Brass.

Processional music: Flourish and Introit was commissioned through the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra by the University to mark the Diamond Jubilee of the University in 2015. The music was composed by Stephen Montague.

THE CHANCELLOR Sir Michael Barber Sir Michael Barber has been Chancellor of the University of Exeter since 1 January 2022. He is a world-leading authority on education and public service delivery and the Founder and Chairman of Delivery Associates, which works with government leaders across the world to enable them to deliver their domestic policy priorities. He is the author of ‘Accomplishment: How to Achieve Ambitious and Challenging Things’ (Penguin 2023).

Sir Michael was educated in York and studied history at the University of Oxford, where he was President of the Queen’s College Student Union. He was a teacher from 1979 to 1985 and subsequently a Professor of Education, first at the University of Keele and then at the Institute of Education, London.

In 1997, Sir Michael embarked on a highly successful career in central government, initially as the Chief Adviser on School Standards in the Department for Education. In 2001, he founded the Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit at No 10 Downing Street, which he ran until 2005.

From 2005 to 2011 he was a partner at McKinsey and Company and Head of its global education practice. From 2011 to 2017 he was Chief Education Advisor at Pearson, where he played a key role in Pearson’s strategy for education.

Sir Michael has worked on delivery and system-wide reform in more than 50 countries and is the Founder and Chairman of Delivery Associates. With his leadership, Delivery Associates works with government leaders across the world to enable them to deliver their domestic policy priorities.

The Chancellor’s Role The post of Chancellor dates back to 1955, when the University of Exeter was created with the award of a Royal Charter from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Sir Michael Barber is the seventh Chancellor of the University of Exeter. The first Chancellor was Mary Dowager Duchess of Devonshire. She was followed by Lord Amory, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer; the scientist Sir Rex Richards; and the barrister Lord Alexander. In 2006, the actress and writer Baroness Floella Benjamin was installed as Chancellor, stepping down in 2016. Businessman and former government minister, The Lord Myners of Truro CBE, succeeded Baroness Benjamin in 2016, and was Chancellor until he stepped down at the end of 2021.

The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the University and is a part-time, honorary appointment. The Chancellor’s most public role is to preside over degree ceremonies, and behind the scenes to act as an important adviser and advocate for the University.

Most recently, Sir Michael was inaugural Chair of the higher education regulator, the Office for Students, a role from which he stepped down in March 2021. From January to July 2021 he assisted the Prime Minister and government in delivering their domestic policy priorities following the pandemic. In November 2022 it was announced that Sir Michael would lead a review of the government’s skills reform programme, and in June 2023, he took up the role of Chair of the South West Social Mobility Commission, which aims to drive forward transformational change in education and employment outcomes for disadvantaged young people in our region.

Sir Michael lives in North Devon with his family, and has recently taken up the role of Chair of Somerset County Cricket Club. In 2009, the University of Exeter awarded Sir Michael an Honorary Doctorate of Laws in recognition of his many achievements. For several years Sir Michael was a distinguished visiting scholar at Harvard School of Public Health. In 2005, he was knighted for his services to improving government.

Graduation is a chance for all of us at the University to join you in celebrating your achievements, and give thanks to the friends and family who have supported you during your studies. I hope that this special day will be a memorable occasion, and that you enjoy your celebrations.

Graduation is also a time to reflect on your university journey, and on everything that you have achieved. A university education is about more than your degree – it is about growing and developing yourself, challenging your own assumptions and absorbing new perspectives, so that you are equipped for the global workplace. For many of you graduating today, this will not be your first degree, and to get to this point you have had to demonstrate extraordinary academic rigour and resilience. You should be very proud of your success.

As a graduate of the University of Exeter, you now join a vibrant alumni community which extends to more than 175,000 people across the world. These people carry Exeter with them in everything they do, and I encourage you to become an active participant of our alumni family.

THE DEANS Professor Andrew McRae Dean of Postgraduate Research and of the Doctoral College Developing the researchers of the future is fundamental to tackling some of the most important global issues we face today.

At Exeter, our 2,000 research students are addressing challenges as wide-ranging as dementia, conflict and human rights, food security and renewable energy. They are providing fresh understandings of the past and new pathways into the future.

Our research students come from across the world, to work within all our disciplines and research groups. We offer PhD studentships funded by UK Research and Innovation across all our Faculties, as well as industry-funded schemes and a range of support for international students. In addition, we work in collaboration with high-quality partners: from academic institutions such as the University of Queensland and the London Film School, through to charities and government organisations. Alongside our Masters

by Research, MPhil and PhD programmes, we offer professional degrees such as the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

The Doctoral College supports our community of research students, helping individuals develop as researchers and move forward into a wide and exciting range of careers. As the Dean of Postgraduate Research, I work closely with the Students’ Guild and Falmouth & Exeter Students’ Union to understand the needs of our students. Whenever I meet with them, I am struck by their commitment, enthusiasm and integrity.

Today’s ceremony celebrates advances in knowledge, and also hard work and perseverance. I warmly congratulate all students graduating today, and wish you every success in the future.

THE DEANS Professor Rob Freathy Dean for Taught Students We have welcomed over 4,200 postgraduate students this year – 55 per cent of whom have come from outside the United Kingdom. Our postgraduates are from a great variety of backgrounds and are studying for many different reasons. Some are undertaking further study to gain additional qualifications.

Some are undertaking research training in preparation for doctoral study and/or a career in academic or other research.

Others have a vocational objective and may well be studying a subject which differs from their previous qualifications in order to progress their career. Exeter is a national leader, in the provision of PGCE degrees for aspiring teachers, as well as offering many pioneering programmes such as: our Master of Public Health that develops visionary public health leadership; our Business School’s world-renowned MBA; and many other Masters qualifications.

Other students study while pursuing their career, and we increasingly cater for their needs through part-time programmes provided via distance or blended modes of learning.

Our partnership arrangements offer the opportunity to develop subject specialisms at other institutions, both in the UK and abroad. These include the unique MA in International Film Business in partnership with the London Film School, where students spend time both in Exeter and London, gaining a broad theoretical understanding of the international film business along with practical experience. Students and graduates benefit from a growing network of alumni who are currently working in the international film industry. The innovative QUEX Institute, established in partnership with the University of Queensland, allows Postgraduate Research students on the QUEX PhD programme to divide their time between the UK and Australia.

Students join an international research team to conduct impactful research, addressing global challenges related to Global Sustainability and Wellbeing. As a member of the Venice International University (VIU), a prestigious global consortium of 20 universities, Exeter undergraduates can apply to study a term of exciting interdisciplinary modules at VIU with a cohort of international students, with further opportunities available for graduates. In partnership with Exeter College, our range of partnership programmes allow students in the region to benefit from the facilities, advice, and sports clubs of both institutions, while developing in their current careers, progressing towards chosen future employment, or towards further study.

We are also very proud to celebrate the graduation of apprentices from our undergraduate and postgraduate Degree Apprenticeship programmes. Celebrating their success this year are apprentices from Civil Engineering, Digital Technology

Solutions, Data Science, Financial Services, Chartered Manager, Senior Leader MBA, Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, Clinical Associate in Psychology, and Senior Leader Healthcare. With 15 Degree Apprenticeship programmes, supported by over 400 employers, we look forward to many more such events in the future.

As Dean, I work closely with our Faculties, the Students’ Guild and the Falmouth & Exeter Students’ Union in Cornwall to ensure the highest quality of student experience leading to excellent academic and employment outcomes. I particularly value the feedback we get from you, so if you would like to share any further thoughts on your time at Exeter, please feel free to contact me directly. Meanwhile, I wish to add my congratulations on your achievements, and my best wishes for your future success. Please keep in touch with us.

BEHIND THE SCENES OF YOUR GRADUATION Mike Shore-Nye Senior Vice-President and Registrar & Secretary My role is to lead the University’s Professional Services teams, ensuring the effective and efficient operations and governance of the University. These teams cover everything from accommodation to wellbeing services; libraries, IT and sports facilities to careers advice and guidance.

Professional Services play a pivotal and vital role in University life, no more so than for graduation. We take pride in supporting every aspect of the ceremonies each year, with over 2,000 team members involved in making it a very special day for our graduands, their friends and families.

The Mace Bearer The role of the Mace Bearer is a historic one dating back to the 12th century. The Mace Bearer’s role is to protect the dignitary who follows him: in our case, the Chancellor.

Original maces were weapons which could be used if necessary to protect the King.

As time progressed, maces became increasingly decorative and the use of silver-covered maces in Exeter can be traced back to the late 14th century. You can read more about the University of Exeter’s mace on the inside front cover.

The Mace Bearer and Marshals, who lead the procession carrying the less ornate wooden ‘wand’, are selected from Professional Services to ensure both the academic and professional support functions are reflected in the ceremonies.

The remainder of the procession and stage party comprises academic staff, and representatives from the University’s Council, University executive staff and the University’s Multifaith Chaplaincy.

During our typical winter and summer graduation ceremonies:

Over 6,000 HOURS WORKED by catering team members

26 GROUNDS TEAM MEMBERS prepare the grounds, set the stage and make the displays

More than 100 CLEANERS spend nearly 1,000 HOURS CLEANING

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS So many of our students have achieved great things over the past year. Here we feature just a few examples where our students have excelled in academia, sport, arts, entrepreneurship and community.

Exeter graduate nominated for BAFTA Zoology graduate Will Nicholls and his co-workers were nominated for a BAFTA Television Craft Award earlier this year for their work on the TV series Predators. Narrated by actor Tom Hardy, the programme was broadcast on Sky Nature in the UK, and Netflix in the USA and Canada.

Will said: “It has always been a goal of mine to get a BAFTA nomination for cinematography, and I’m thrilled that it was for a show like Predators. This was a character-led film and I spent 15 weeks following a pair of cheetah brothers through the Serengeti. Being able to spend every day with the cats allowed me to immerse myself in their lives, and see behaviours and share in unique moments that few get to see.”

Business School student swims across Lake Geneva for eating disorder charity Oscar Sanger, who studies Business Management, decided to raise money for the eating disorder charity Beat after a close family member became ill with bulimia and anorexia.

Studying in Lausanne on a year abroad and far from his family, Oscar looked for ways he could show his support.

Each morning on the way to class, Oscar and his friend would walk by Lake Geneva with its stunning views of distant snowtopped mountains, which got him thinking. After some research, he discovered there was a route to swim across the lake.

Oscar and his friend William Henman, a student at St Andrew’s, raised over £3,500 and managed to secure sponsorship from Stint, a company that facilitates flexible work for students, to pay for the support boat and lifeguard necessary to complete the challenge. In July, the pair successfully completed the physically demanding challenge, crossing Lake Geneva in 4 hours and 44 minutes.

Exeter students help keep festival goers safe and well at Glastonbury Nursing and medicine students put their skills into action at this year’s Glastonbury Festival while volunteering as first responders.

The students delivered medical care at Glastonbury as part of Festival Medical Services (FMS), who provided special training ahead of the event to prepare them for the variety of cases they had to respond to when 210,000 music fans visited Worthy Farm.

The group gained medical qualifications that will contribute to their degrees. Among them was a third-year medicine student, Amy Sheffard, who said, “I learned skills that I never get the opportunity to develop on the wards – moving crowds to get an ambulance through and reporting over a walkie-talkie were totally new experiences – and I also learned so much from the more experienced responders I was paired with for each shift. Communication was the most vital skill, whether that was reporting the most important details to those managing callouts, to keeping things as simple as possible for patients.”

Ukrainian refugee who won Exeter scholarship nominated for Student of the Year A student who fled war-torn Ukraine before embarking on her studies at the University of Exeter Business School has been nominated for the Association of MBAs Student of the Year Award 2024.

Kateryna Halkina came to the UK as a refugee under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, settling in Dawlish near Exeter with a host family. In Ukraine, Kateryna had been working for 10 years in a variety of roles, including for KPMG, but she was ambitious to return to university. However after the house she lived in was looted and then destroyed in Hostomel, Kateryna found herself alone in the UK “without even a tenth” of the money needed to go back to university.

It was through a local priest that she found out about The Exeter MBA, and he encouraged her to apply for The Exeter MBA Better World Scholarship. Despite daily news of missile attacks back home, Kateryna has managed to continue her studies, driven by a clear vision of how the knowledge she gains could contribute to the rebuilding process in Ukraine.

Exeter graduate saving lives as A&E doctor and winning titles as Team GB boxer For most people, either saving lives in a hospital or representing your country in the boxing ring would be enough pressure, but Medicine graduate Ike Ogbo excels in both.

It was during his time at Exeter that Ike started to shine as a boxer. Now working as an A&E doctor, Ike admits boxing may seem like a “paradox”, but he says the two areas of his life actually complement each other.

“The things that I take from my training and boxing competitions, I use in my job – especially in the accident and emergency department, which can be a very high stress environment with lots of quick-fire decisions and a lot of physical and mental impact. Having that mental and physical fortitude is perfectly embodied in both crafts.”

For Ike, boxing also provides an outlet away from work and a good way to help de-stress. While he won’t be going to the Olympics in Paris next year (the one spot in his weight category has already been filled), he is hoping to compete at the Commonwealth Games in 2026.

Exeter apprentice wins at Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards A University of Exeter apprentice is celebrating after winning at the Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards. Mamadou Kone, who was one of six shortlisted apprentices studying at Exeter, won in the Transport and Logistics category.

Mamadou chose a Degree Apprenticeship as a way of accessing higher education and developing his skills and knowledge after focusing much of his childhood and teenage years on pursuing a career in football. He is now an apprentice on the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship programme, where he combines studying for a degree in Responsible Business Management with a full-time job working for Amazon.

Mamadou described his first year on the programme as ‘incredible’, culminating in a promotion to the position of Area Manager, overseeing a team of 100.

“It was an honour to be shortlisted for this prestigious award alongside so many other inspiring apprentices, so I am thrilled to have actually won it! It signifies that those around me recognise my commitment, my efforts and determination to succeed on what has been a challenging journey.”

Powerful research outlining discrimination and lack of diversity honoured by Hutton Prize for Excellence Millie Urquart and Mathys Reiss have both won this year’s Hutton Prize for Excellence for their research projects. The award is given annually to undergraduate or postgraduate students in either the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences or the Business School. It rewards, encourages and inspires those who put ethical conduct and transparency at the forefront of government, business and the professions.

Millie’s research explored how African migrant women experience unsatisfactory perinatal care and health outcomes in the French maternity system. Mathys’s research showed how third sector institutions lack BAME volunteers and sets out recommendations on how to improve diversity and participation across the sector.

Exeter ranked first globally for action on Clean Water in Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2023 Exeter secured the top spot globally for research, action, and commitment towards clean water and better sanitation in The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2023.

The rankings measure universities’ overall impact through their efforts to achieve the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Exeter’s ‘solid gold’ standard for teaching excellence among best in the UK The University has attained a ‘solid gold’ standard for its commitment to delivering world-class teaching in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) assessment.

Exeter was ranked first in the world in the Clean Water and Sanitation category and was first in Europe for Climate Action, and second in Europe for Zero Hunger.

The University also ranked joint 18th overall – a rise of 24 places – in the influential rankings, in recognition of its commitment to sustainability, improving health and tackling inequality.

The Framework is a UK government initiative aimed at ensuring high-quality teaching in higher education institutions.

Exeter is among an elite group of higher education institutions to be recognised as consistently providing outstanding teaching, learning and student outcomes to secure the ‘Gold Overall’ standard in the TEF assessment.

The prestigious gold rating is underpinned by Exeter receiving Gold ratings in the two aspects of the assessment – Student Experience and Student Outcomes.

Camborne School of Mines celebrates a double anniversary and the launch of a new Degree Apprenticeship programme Exeter hosts the British Science Festival In September, Exeter hosted this year’s British Science Festival.

This annual event is a celebration of the people, stories and ideas central to science. Over 70 free events were held on campus and throughout the city, offering a diverse range of activities, from talks to interactive sessions.

The Festival’s headline speaker was Hamza Yassin, a renowned wildlife cameraman, photographer, author, and winner of Strictly Come Dancing in 2022. Our President and ViceChancellor, Lisa Roberts, had the pleasure of conversing with Hamza about his life, career, and passion for nature at an event held in Exeter Cathedral.

This year the Camborne School of Mines celebrates the 135th anniversary of its inception, and 30th anniversary of being located at the University’s Penryn Campus in Cornwall.

Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal was welcomed to the Camborne School of Mines by students, staff and representatives from the Cornish community during a special visit in October. The Princess Royal toured the mining school to gain a deeper understanding of its crucial role in global sustainable mining and in the development of the UK’s Critical Minerals Strategy.

Following the tour, The Princess Royal was invited to unveil a special plaque, officially commemorating the launch of the Camborne School of Mines’ new Degree Apprenticeship programme.

Exeter ranked among the best in the Russell Group for Student Satisfaction Student satisfaction at the University of Exeter is among the highest in the Russell Group, according to the National Student Survey (NSS) 2023.

Exeter ranked in the top 10 for the group in six out of seven themes in the NSS, which asks final-year undergraduates to reflect upon their experiences at UK higher education institutions.

Exeter wins award for widening access to higher education The University of Exeter has won the NEON HE Institution of the Year Award for widening access to higher education.

The awards ceremony was held at the Palace of Westminster earlier this year.

NEON’s vision is that access to and success in higher education should not be related to social background – and the awards celebrate the “transformative power” that higher education can have and recognise key achievements in widening access.

At Exeter, the Success for All programme aims to widen participation, close gaps in student outcomes and build a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Around 1,000 school students every year also have the opportunity to find out more about university, develop a passion for a chosen subject and gain first-hand experience of student life through the Exeter Scholars programme.

Exeter secures top 50 place in new European rankings The University of Exeter was ranked =47th in Europe in the inaugural QS World Universities Rankings: Europe league table.

Exeter’s position is based on its ranking in 12 key indicators. The University’s strongest performance was in the ‘Sustainability’ (24th) and the ‘Citations per Paper’ (42nd) categories.

The new rankings are produced by global higher education analyst QS Quacquarelli Symonds, and represent the only significant regional ranking of solely European universities.

OUR HISTORY

The University of Exeter received its Royal Charter in 1955, although its origins can actually be traced further back to the nineteenth century.

Our ‘founding father’ was Sir Stafford Northcote, a prominent politician in the Disraeli government, who seized on the popular enthusiasm for learning following the Great Exhibition. In 1855 he backed the establishment of a School of Art in Exeter, offering subjects ranging from construction to freehand drawing. A School of Science quickly followed.

Following Sir Stafford’s death, Jessie Montgomery became secretary of the University Extension Committee in 1888, and put forward an ambitious plan, leading to the Exeter Technical and University Extension College being created, with generous

funding from the University of Cambridge. By 1895 students had formed a guild and in 1898 the first student magazine was published. In 1900 the title of Royal Albert Memorial College was adopted, which is where the students’ RAM bar of today gets its name. The College offered external degrees of the University of London and teacher training.

Scots philosopher Hector Hetherington became Principal in 1920 and pushed for university status. To succeed, a more impressive home was needed and in 1922 a local benefactor, Alderman W H Reed, was persuaded to buy the Streatham Estate. Shortly afterwards, the University Grants Committee visited the campus and awarded the status of University College and an annual government grant.

In 1926 John Murray was appointed Principal of the University College and led an expansion programme which included the opening of the Washington Singer building in 1931 and Mardon Hall two years later.

University status was awarded in 1955 with James Cook our first Vice-Chancellor. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited the following year to present the charter and unveil the foundation stone of the Queen’s Building. In the 1960s we secured sufficient government funding to radically develop the campus; over a dozen major new buildings were constructed, including the Great Hall and the Physics building, while student numbers rose from 1,400 to 3,300.

Higher education funding was tight in the 1970s and 80s but Exeter saw some positive developments. In 1978 we became a two campus university when St Luke’s College merged with the University to become its School of Education. A new library was built in 1983, thanks to a gift from the Ruler of Dubai in recognition of our research and teaching on the Arab world.

By 1991, we had 6,500 students, and in 1993 the Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall became a part of the University.

We also became a founding member of the research-intensive 1994 Group.

U N I V E R S I T Y O F E X E T E R G R A D U AT I O N W I N T E R 2 0 2 3

The new century saw an unparalleled period of progress and success, beginning in 2001 when His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, the Ruler of Sharjah and an Exeter graduate, provided a new building for the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies. In 2002 we secured government backing for the Peninsula Medical School, a joint project with the University of Plymouth, and two years later opened our Penryn Campus with Falmouth University in Cornwall. In 2007, we were named University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards.

In recent years we have invested significantly in our campuses, constructing new student accommodation, refurbishing labs and study spaces, and developing new buildings such as the Forum in Exeter and the Exchange in Cornwall, which seamlessly merge academic and social space through spectacular architecture. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II returned to our Streatham Campus in 2012 to officially open the Forum.

Other significant developments included the creation of the Environment and Sustainability Institute – an interdisciplinary research centre at Penryn – and the Research, Innovation, Learning and Development building, a partnership with what is now called the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which was part-funded by the Wellcome Trust and The Wolfson Foundation.

In 2012 we were invited to join the prestigious Russell Group of research-intensive universities, and in 2013 we were crowned The Sunday Times University of the Year. In the same year we also accepted the first students into the new University of Exeter Medical School, created after we formed our own medical school following our successful 10-year partnership with the University of Plymouth. In 2014 the Research Excellence Framework, which assesses the quality of universities’ research, saw us awarded an additional £3.8 million for research, the third highest gain amongst English universities. We were named Sports University of the Year 2016 by The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide.

* Research rated 4* + 3* + 2* in REF 2021 ** Based on ranking for 4* impact in REF 2021

2017 saw us open the Living Systems Institute (LSI) on our Streatham Campus. The Institute pioneers novel approaches to understanding diseases and how they can be better diagnosed.

On the Penryn Campus the Stella Turk building was completed in 2019, enabling the continued growth and success of a range of subject areas. In 2020, we were awarded our fourth Queen’s Anniversary Prize in recognition of our world-leading research for combatting the effects of marine plastic pollution.

President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Lisa Roberts took up her post on 1 September 2020. The following year Professor Roberts launched the University’s exciting Strategy 2030 which aims to use the power of our education and research to create a sustainable, healthy and socially just future.

The 2021 Research Excellence Framework review showed that we are doing more research, of better quality, with a bigger impact on the world than ever before. Our world-leading research impact grew more than any other Russell Group university, more than 99 per cent of our research was rated of international quality* and 12 of our subjects were in the Top 10 for world-leading impact.** We ranked Top 10 in the Russell Group for student satisfaction in six out of seven themes in the National Student Survey 2023.

2023 has seen us secure a ‘solid gold’ standard for our commitment to providing world-class teaching in the Teaching Excellence Framework assessment. Our prestigious gold rating was underpinned by Gold ratings in the two aspects of the assessment – Student Experience and Student Outcomes. We were one of four Russell Group institutions to achieve this ‘solid gold’ assessment.

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Exeter Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) held its official launch event, and the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW) Building was completed.

Today, our courses and research cover every aspect of the sciences, humanities and social sciences. We attract 30,000 of the best and brightest students from more than 150 countries around the world.
