As part of a radical vision for the city, schools of Art and Science were founded in Exeter in 1851. Challenging opposition and driven by ambition from the start, these humble beginnings were the first steps towards establishing the University of Exeter.

The University of Exeter has been dedicated to discovery and changing lives through education since 1851 when the Exeter Schools of Art and Science were founded. In 1922 the institution became the University College of the South West, receiving Charter in 1955, achieving full university status and becoming the University of Exeter.

Research is at the heart of what the university do, and is making a difference across the world. University of Exeter unite expertise from across our academic disciplines, breaking down barriers to create innovative solutions to complex, global challenges.
