Built on a human scale
The University of Exeter is part of the 1994 Group, a group of 14 UK universities that includes Durham,Warwick, York and the London School of Economics. The universities in this group are small and medium-sized universities built on a human scale. Exeter is a campus university, offering students purpose-built accommodation, conveniently close to libraries and social facilities. The University is unaffected by the impersonal and bureaucratic culture of very large universities, and its MBA offers individual supervision and small-group teaching by some of Britain's most distinguished scholars and researchers.
A strong reputation
The School of Business and Economics is ranked fouth in the UK for Business and Management in the 2008 Guardian University Guide. The school ranked first in the National Student Survey for both 2007 and 2006, and the university achieved the prestigious Times Higher University of the Year award for 2007-2008.
Exeter enjoys an excellent reputation in the UK for research, teaching quality, and support. The latest (2001) Research Assessment Exercise rated 98 percent of Exeter subject areas in the top grades (5*, 5, or 4), and the school received a 5 rating for accounting, finance, and economics.
Good lifestyle, great place to learn and develop
Students enjoy being at the University and this is reflected in their performance. They find that the atmosphere on campus is lively, yet relaxed and friendly, the climate mild and pleasant, and our attractive campus is so near the city of Exeter as to be convenient and conducive to a good lifestyle. In brief, the University of Exeter is a great place for learning and personal development.
