We would encourage students to consider travelling to Exeter and Bristol International Airports or Cardiff Airport rather than Heathrow. You may need to change flights at a European airport such as Paris or Amsterdam but the airports are smaller, immigration processing times shorter and the distance to Exeter is shorter. However, we do realise that flights to Heathrow or Gatwick airports are often cheaper.

When to arrive

We encourage all new students to arrive in time for Welcome Week (Monday 18 – Sunday 24 September) or January Orientation 2024 (Monday 15 January 2024). At these orientations you will be able to participate in the International Welcome Programme and attend your Academic Induction. To help the large number of students arriving for Welcome Week we run a subsidised Airport Collection Service (see p.31). If you cannot arrive at these times or are a research student arriving outside these orientations please make your way to Exeter or Cornwall using the following information and either attend a Late Orientation meeting or contact sid@exeter.ac.uk or info.penryn@exeter.ac.uk and we can arrange a meeting with you to give you a short introduction to the University.
