Transforming Education for a Changing World.
In an era of unprecedented change, we are transforming the way we educate our brightest young minds to shape the leaders of tomorrow. At the University of Exeter, we are not bound by the conventions of the past and take a bold, innovative approach to education that reflects the world around us. We harness the latest technology and techniques, think without borders on a global scale and empower our learners to become agents of change.

We are committed to adaptability and exploration of new methods and encourage our colleagues to continually create and develop new and innovative ways to engage their students. Our unique initiatives such as the Education Incubator, encourage our staff to conceive and nurture their creative ideas by providing them with the space and support to bring them to fruition as we continually strive to find and adopt best practice. We do this by using transformative methods including technology, community engagement, gamification of learning and more to deliver an education that energises and engages our learners.
We firmly believe that in a globalised world, our learners should develop a truly international mindset and not be constrained by geographic or disciplinary boundaries. We offer a wealth of opportunities to work and engage with students and educators from across the globe and academic spectrum – broadening their horizons and shaping them into citizens of the world. This is illustrated by our conception and leadership of Future17, the Sustainable Development Goals Challenge Program. In association with QS, we are bringing together students from across all six continents to work alongside global organisations in virtual groups to develop solutions to help meet the UN’s SDGs.
Above all else, at the University of Exeter, our students are at the heart of their own education. We do not believe that the delivery of education should be a one-way street and our learners are empowered and encouraged to be active participants in their learning journey.
Our students play a significant role in shaping their own curricula and work with members of staff to enhance our teaching methods and techniques. We are dedicated to facilitating success for all students and consider it our responsibility to adjust our approach to meet their diverse needs. Elsewhere, the University supports its students to devise and develop their own ideas for the future, harnessing their entrepreneurial spirit and helping them to forge their own path.
Our approach to education is founded on an ideology focused on innovation, sustainability and co-creation which cascades through every discipline at the University of Exeter, forming a bedrock upon which truly breakthrough thinking can thrive.
We’re not just delivering education, we’re transforming education.
