Winter Graduation Brochure 2024 (Sat 14)

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”.

YOUR CEREMONY

We hope you have a fantastic day and enjoy the ceremony. Just to let you know, we undertake filming and photography during the day which we may use for promotional purposes at a later date. We’ve done our best to ensure that the information presented in this brochure is correct at the time of going to print (November 2024).

History

The Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees is the occasion whereby a ‘graduand’ receives the degree of the University. The graduates are then known as alumni and are entitled to use post-nominal letters.

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.

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: Introit and Flourish 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

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.

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 ‘How to Run a Government’ (Penguin 2016) and ‘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.

From 2017, Sir Michael was inaugural Chair of the higher education regulator, the Office for Students, a role from which he stepped down in March 2021. 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. In September 2024 he was appointed as the Prime Minister’s Adviser on Effective Delivery. He has also recently become the Government’s Envoy on Governance in the Palestinian Authority.

Sir Michael lives in North Devon with his family, and in 2022 took 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.

THE DEANS

Professor Stacey Hynd 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 2,200 research students are addressing challenges from healthy aging to living systems, conflict and human rights, food security and renewable energy.

Our postgraduate researchers come from across the world to work within, and across, all our disciplines and research groups as essential members of our research community. 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 industrial partners, charities and government organisations. Alongside our Masters by Research, MPhil and PhD programmes, we offer professional degrees such as the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Doctorate of Education, alongside part-time, distance-learning and both by Practice and by Publication programmes to suit individuals’ needs.

The Doctoral College supports our community of research students, helping our postgraduates develop as researchers and move forward into a wide and exciting range of careers. As the Dean of Postgraduate Research, I have the privilege to meet with many of our postgraduate researchers and learn about their work, see how they support and encourage each other, and read about their wide-ranging successes. I also see the many challenges that they face, both intellectual and personal. Today’s ceremony is a celebration of advances in knowledge, but also of their hard work, dedication and determination, and the support from their peers, friends and families. I warmly congratulate all students graduating today, and wish you all every success in the future.

THE DEANS

Professor Beverley Hawkins 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 such varied 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 research. Others have a vocational objective and may well be studying a new subject 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. We are all so proud of our vibrant, diverse postgraduate community.

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 delighted to celebrate the graduation of apprentices from our undergraduate and postgraduate Degree Apprenticeship programmes. Celebrating their success this year are apprentices from Applied Finance, Civil Engineering, Clinical Associate in Psychology, Data Science, Digital and Technology

Solutions, Healthcare Leadership and Management, Human Resource Management, Senior Leader MBA, Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, Responsible Business Management, and Systems Thinking. 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. Your feedback is so important, 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 - I can’t wait to learn what you do next.

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. There is a huge amount of work behind the scenes during the 12 months prior to the ceremonies; many colleagues volunteer away from their day jobs to help the events run smoothly on the day.

I hope you have a wonderful day, enjoy every moment and I wish you all the best for whatever the future brings.

In Winter 2024 we are holding 9 graduation ceremonies:

In the average ceremony, each person claps approximately 7,000 TIMES

4,655 STUDENTS GRADUATE with 5,907 GUESTS in attendance

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 them: 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.

By the age of 34, he had built two 8-figure businesses, earning the title ‘King of Construction’.

From plumbing apprentice to multimillion-pound business owner, Valente’s inspiring journey highlights his ability to turn challenges into opportunities and establish himself as a leader in the business world. Through mentorship and training, he continues to shape the next generation of entrepreneurs, proving that resilience, innovation, and hard work can lead to extraordinary success.

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.

Innovation from Renewable Energy Engineering students shines at international solar boat competition

This summer, 12 Renewable Energy Engineering students took part in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. The competition featured solarand hydrogen-powered boats of various shapes and sizes, tested across events designed to measure speed, power and endurance. Going up against teams from 25 nations, the students from the Penryn Campus competed as “SOLEX” in the Solar Class. Events included qualifying laps, top-speed time trials, a four-hour endurance race, a slalom event, and a final championship race to push these vessels to their limits.

Leading up to the event, the team worked hard to design, manufacture and test different elements of the boat’s electrical system and mechanical features, using Stithians Reservoir for water testing.

The team finished commendably in 11th place overall, with their best performance in the speed category, where they placed 6th. Congratulations to the team!

Exeter students and alumni star at Paris 2024 Olympics

Congratulations to the Exeter students and alumni who competed at the 2024 Olympics in Paris!

FdSc Coaching and Fitness student Jess Buchanan was part of Team GB, helping the women’s hockey squad reach the quarterfinals. BSc Environmental Science student Charlotte Webster competed for the Cayman Islands in the women’s dinghy event, placing 41st after the weather interrupted some of her racing in Marseille. BA Philosophy and Politics student Freya Black made her Olympic debut in the women’s skiff 49erFX class alongside Saskia Tidy.

Finally, honorary graduate Dina Asher-Smith was part of the 4x100m women’s relay team who claimed silver for Team GB. Dina also delivered an impressive performance in the 200m, finishing just three-hundredths of a second from the podium, and proudly represented Team GB in the 100m.

Politics, Philosophy and Economics student wins this year’s Hutton Prize for Excellence

Libby Rush, a final-year Politics, Philosophy and Economics student, was honoured with the prestigious Hutton Prize for Excellence for her dissertation exploring the relationship between COVID-19 and domestic abuse support services.

Her research sheds light on how the pandemic exposed systemic issues undermining the ability of service providers to respond adequately to domestic abuse and offers a series of research-based policy recommendations.

Awarded annually within the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and the Business School, the Hutton Prize celebrates students who place ethical conduct and transparency at the forefront of government, business and the professions.

Exeter medical student becomes first British student to win international racial justice award

Medicine student Naabil Khan has made history as the first British recipient of the Racial Justice in Medicine Award from the American Medical Student Association (AMSA).

The award, presented at the Future Physicians for Change conference in Washington, DC, celebrates Naabil’s dedication to supporting aspiring medical students and tackling inequality in teaching materials.

Beyond her studies, Naabil has launched several impactful initiatives. She hosts the VeryJuniorDoctorspodcast, offering an accessible and personal look into life as a medical student, and created SkinForAll, a website which shows different skin conditions on a range of skin tones.

She also founded the Future Dr newsletter, encouraging student engagement in extracurricular and super-curricular activities spanning over 12 medical specialties.

Exeter triumphs in first round of University Challenge

At the time of printing, the University of Exeter’s team has advanced to the second round of the BBC’s University Challenge after a decisive victory over the University of Reading. Led by captain Martin Newman (PhD History), with teammates Lucy Carr (BA Art History & Visual Culture and Classical Studies), Ryker Moorcroft (MSci Natural Sciences), Elliott Mouelhi (BA Ancient History and Archaeology), and reserve Benjamin Roth (MA Classics and Ancient History), the team established an early lead and finished with a score of 240-100.

When the episode aired on BBC2, the team celebrated at the Ram Bar on Streatham Campus, where friends cheered them on. Reflecting on the experience, Lucy described it as “surreal” to see herself on the show she has watched since childhood.

Following their success, the team will return for the next round later this season. Congratulations to the Exeter team for their impressive start!

Student entrepreneurs celebrated at annual awards

We celebrated another successful year of student startups and innovation at the Student Entrepreneurship Awards, recognising outstanding achievements across the University.

Tomiwa Adeoye (Business and Management) won the Social Impact Award for AfroExeExperience, which brings Afrobeat and Amapiano music nights to Exeter. Iman Alibeigi (Engineering) received the Environmental Impact Award for his platform InfraFund, while Eleanor Griffin (Engineering and Entrepreneurship) was honoured with the Tech Innovation Award for Opas Guides, which designs patient-specific instrumentation for orthopaedic surgery. The Rising Star Award went to Lorenzo Satta Chiris, and Giselle Hegstad won the People’s Choice Award for her positive contributions. Ruairi Duignan (Business and Environment) received the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Award for his work on his venture Turbo Zone.

Exeter rugby has starring role in Six Nations 2024

University of Exeter rugby talent shone at this year’s Six Nations Championship, with ten players linked to the University selected for various national squads. Dafydd Jenkins, an Exercise and Sport Sciences student and Exeter Chiefs player, captained the Wales men’s team. Medicine student and Exeter Chiefs winger Immanuel FeyiWaboso received his first England men’s call-up, joining alumnus Henry Slade.

Joe Bailey (Exercise and Sport Sciences) represented England’s U20 men’s squad, while alumna Lizzie Hanlon played for England in the women’s squad (Red Roses), earning her first cap at Twickenham against Ireland.

In support of the Red Roses, Exercise and Sport Sciences students Maisy Allen and Katie Buchanan were called up for the training squad before and during the tournament, where the Red Roses won the Six Nations Grand Slam title.

Economics student Ross Vintcent joined Italy’s squad, alumnus Sam Skinner played for Scotland, and Anthropology student Elliot Young played in Scotland’s U20 men’s squad.

Psychology student represents Team GB in Sailing

Matilda Nicholls, who graduated this summer with a degree in Psychology, has represented Team GB internationally in sailing throughout her studies. Earlier this year, she took bronze in the ILCA 6 women’s single-handed dinghy series at the Princess Sofia World Cup in Palma. Matilda has also represented the University in multiple British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) events, including winning gold at the BUCS Fleet Racing Championships and being part of an all-women’s BUCS Match Racing team.

As a training partner for Team GB’s ILCA 6 Olympic representative, Hannah Snellgrove, Matilda spent the summer supporting her in preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Reflecting on this experience, Matilda said, “It’s been a long summer of hard work and training, but it has allowed me to gain lots of experience and insights ahead of the next Olympic cycle ... I am really excited to use all I have learned this summer to go on and win a medal at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.”

Exeter Medical Students Excel in National Neuroanatomy Competition

University of Exeter medical students achieved outstanding results at the National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition (NUNC), held at the University of Glasgow. Competing against peers from across the country, Exeter’s six representatives earned five awards, including a historic double win of the NUNC Pre-Clinical Prize and Runner-up PreClinical Prize—making Exeter the first university to achieve this distinction.

Second-year student Amelia Dickson won Best Pre-Clinical Prize, with fellow second-year Arsh Thao earning the Runner’s Up Pre-Clinical Prize, while Jack Read, John Donnelly and Sean Ho received Distinction Prizes.

20-hour walk for period poverty

In February, medical students Ella Daly and Maisie Harvey from the Truro Campus completed a 20-hour continuous walking challenge, raising over £2,500 to help tackle period poverty in Ghana.

They travelled to Ghana in April, as part of their self-funded medical elective, to shadow doctors in hospitals and outreach clinics. With 95% of schoolgirls in Ghana missing 20% of school due to their menstrual periods, the two students used their free time there to create an education programme and distribute sanitary products purchased with their raised funds. Before the trip, Ella and Maisie trained to become women’s health ambassadors, enabling them to hold six educational sessions and product distributions across Ghana. Their efforts reached 370 girls and drew interest from the communities they visited.

A local leader who helped the pair with translation and provided organisational support, is now going to undertake training to continue the education programme.

TED WRAGG AWARDS FOR OUTSTANDING TRAINEES

The Ted Wragg Awards for Outstanding Trainees are in honour of the late Professor Ted Wragg (Director of the University’s School of Education, 1978-1994), a nationally-recognised advocate of the teaching profession and a man who inspired a great many of today’s best teachers and teaching practices.

These awards have been developed to recognise, encourage and financially reward our best PGCE trainees. Why? Because a fundamental part of our PGCE programme is the sharing of experience, good practice and support, not just from staff to trainee but between trainees themselves. We look for, and reward, excellent trainees because we know they are an important part of creating a programme that encourages all trainees to succeed and become great teachers.

University welcomes two symbolic globes from groundbreaking national arts project

We’re pleased to have received two poignant art installations in support of TheWorldReimagined, a national project that seeks to redefine how the country understands the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans and its lasting impact. This mass participation art education initiative reflects on British history and encourages people to take meaningful action to make racial justice a reality.

A total of 103 globes have been created for the project, and we’re delighted to have two of these installations. Each globe is crafted by a different artist and displayed in prominent locations across the country, including the National Maritime Museum in London and Rhodes House in Oxford.

In July, a stunning globe by artist Caroline Daly, adorned with 400 swallows – each representing one year of the Transatlantic Trade – was installed at our Penryn Campus in Cornwall. A second globe, UncertainVoyage:AComplexTriangle, created by illustrator Nadia Akingbule, was unveiled on our Streatham Campus in Exeter during Black History Month in October.

Exeter secures global 150 place in influential rankings

We’re delighted to be ranked in the global top 150, and 13th in the UK, in the influential U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities ranking. Our success in the standings was due to strong performances across multiple assessment categories, including percentage of most highly cited papers.

We also featured in 29 of the individual subject rankings within the assessment – with nine subjects placed in the top 100 globally.

Penryn Campus celebrates its 20th anniversary

This year our beautiful Penryn Campus celebrated its 20th anniversary. Shared by the Universities of Exeter and Falmouth, the campus opened with a mission to transform degree-level education in Cornwall, boost social mobility and help retain talent in the region. Over the past two decades, the campus has flourished, establishing world-renowned research centres, state-of-the-art facilities, and an emerging civic, business and community engagement programme.

We’re thrilled to have been awarded ‘University of the Year’ in this year’s Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards. The awards celebrate talent and diversity within multicultural communities, recognising the achievements of apprentices and the contributions of employers and learning providers.

Nine of our apprentices also received award nominations and we’re delighted that Miranda Simms won in the Retail, Hospitality and Tourism category. Miranda is currently on our Senior People Professional programme and works at TUI.

With nearly 3,000 apprentices enrolled across 19 programmes, we proudly hold the largest portfolio of any Russell Group learning provider. We collaborate with over 400 employer partners to enhance access to higher education, address skills gaps and build more diverse workforces.

Exeter retains top 15 position in Complete University Guide 2025

We’re pleased that Exeter has once again secured a place in the top 15 universities nationwide in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025, ranking 13th overall and 3rd in the South West.

The Guide evaluates universities on indicators such as student satisfaction with teaching quality, student experience, research quality, graduate prospects, and the entrance qualifications held by new students.

Penryn Campus celebrates Green Flag Award for seventh consecutive year

Our Penryn Campus has been honoured with the coveted Green Flag Award for the seventh year in a row. This award, administered by Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, serves as a benchmark of excellence for well-managed green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.

Set in 100 acres of countryside, our campus grounds and gardens feature a unique collection of herbaceous beds, subtropical planting and a fruit-producing orchard. One of the many green initiatives that contributed to this year’s award is the Wildflower Planting Project where over 1,200 wildflower plugs were planted. Now in its second year, this project is supporting biodiversity on campus and helping wildlife thrive.

Exeter celebrates 20 years of Medical Imaging excellence

This year, we’re celebrating 20 years of teaching and research excellence in Medical Imaging, training much-needed radiographers for the NHS and beyond. Since our programme launched in 2004 to help address a national radiographer shortage, we’ve trained over 1,000 skilled radiographers, with active student placements in ten NHS trusts across Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset. Our Medical Imaging programme is consistently ranked among the best in the country, producing outstanding radiographers to help meet the needs of the NHS.

With the government’s recognition of the need for more clinical radiographers, we’ve adapted to meet this demand. Over the past four years, we’ve introduced the UK’s first degree apprenticeship in Diagnostic Radiography and Imaging, which allows students to “earn while they learn” through a combination of NHS and academic settings, as well as offering a pre-registration MSc degree apprenticeship and an MSci to prepare radiographers for enhanced practice.

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.

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.

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.**

In 2023 we secured a ‘solid gold’ standard for our commitment to providing world-class teaching in the Teaching Excellence Framework assessment. We were one of only four Russell Group institutions to achieve this ‘solid gold’ assessment. The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Exeter Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), and the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW) Building were also officially opened.

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.
