About the University of Exeter The University of Exeter is one of the world’s best and is a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities. Formed in 1955, the University was ranked 12th in the UK in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020 and is a Global Top 150 university according to the QS World University Rankings 2022. The University has a proud history and has grown from its roots in the South-West of England to be a truly inclusive and diverse global university with a community of over 27,000 students and 6,400 staff across four campuses in Devon and Cornwall and an increasingly significant worldwide digital footprint. Research at the University is changing lives around the world. Recent breakthroughs include the identification and treatment of new forms of diabetes, new treatments for dementia and the development of solutions in the fight against climate change. In 2018 we announced the launch of our new Global Systems Institute. One of the largest of its kind in the world, it will bring together researchers, policymakers, businesses and students from around the globe to seek solutions to the biggest environmental challenges. We also launched a new joint research centre with the Chinese University of Hong Kong that aims to tackle emerging issues related to a changing environment and human health. These developments further our commitment to research excellence and follow our largest investment in research to date; the £52 million Living Systems Institute (LSI) on our Streatham Campus. The LSI seeks to revolutionise disease prevention through predictive biology and houses over 200 scientists from a wide range of disciplines. This development complements the Environment and Sustainability Institute in Penryn which provides an interdisciplinary centre to lead cutting-edge research into the consequences of environmental change and the mitigation and management of its effects. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF), the University ranked 16th nationally, with 98% of its research rated as being of international quality, and in 2017, was awarded a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) assessment. We are consistently ranked amongst the UK’s top universities in the Higher Education league tables produced by The Times and The Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Complete University Guide, as well as amongst the world’s top 150 universities in the QS and Times Higher Education global rankings. Exeter has always been among the leaders for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey. Our senior management team has sought to build on this strength by putting student services at the centre of our organisational strategy. The Students’ Guild and FXU (the students’ unions in Exeter and Cornwall respectively) are involved at the earliest stages of strategic planning and given a major role in making spending decisions through a specially created Student Experience Advisory Group. This has led to a remarkable degree of joint thinking and team work.
