Congratulations! You’ve been accepted by Exeter University. Or perhaps not quite yet, perhaps you just want to know exactly what’s in store should you pick to study in the South West. Sure, you already know that Exeter is a prestigious Russell Group university, consistently ranked amongst the top ten in the UK. But what is it really like to study here? What can you expect to find should you gain a place?

Entry Requirements

First things first, how difficult is it to get into Exeter university? After all, it is one of the best in the UK. Entry requirements are actually quite varied, ranging from A*AA to BBB depending on the popularity of the course. Typical requirements for popular courses such as Maths, History or Economics are A*AA or AAA.

If you are fortunate enough to receive a conditional offer but don’t quite make the grade it is always worth phoning up the Exeter admissions department, who may be able to offer you a slightly reduced offer depending on your circumstance.

Across the campus, the library has recently undergone a £9m refurbishment and is home to a stock of over 1.2 million books and publications, each available for undergraduates to use and loan. The business school has undergone a £25 million redevelopment and there is a brand new Biosciences facility.
