University of Exeter

The University of Exeter is a public research institution that may be found in the county of Devon in the south-western region of England in the United Kingdom. The Camborne School of Mines, St. Luke's College, Exeter School of Science, and Exeter School of Art all came before it and were founded in 1838, 1855, 1863, and 1888, respectively. After gaining its royal charter in 1955, these institutions eventually merged to become what is now known as the University of Exeter. The Institution of Exeter is abbreviated as Exon. in postnominals (from the Latin Exoniensis), which is also the suffix used to honorary and academic degrees awarded by the university.

Streatham and St. Luke's are both located in Exeter, while the university also maintains campuses in Truro and Penryn. Both of these locations are in Cornwall (both of which are in Cornwall). The main campus of the university may be found in Exeter, Devon, which is also the location of the city's most important institution of higher learning. The majority of the university's administrative buildings are located on the Streatham campus, which is also the biggest campus. The Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) project is responsible for the upkeep of the Penryn campus, which is carried out in collaboration with Falmouth University. More than 1.2 million physical library materials, including as historical journals and special collections, are housed in the Exeter Streatham Campus Library. The organisation had an annual revenue of £503.1 million for the fiscal year 2020–21, with £94.6 million coming from research grants and contracts. The institution's expenditures were £512.8 million.

In addition to being affiliated with Universities UK, the European University Association, and the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Exeter is recognised as a research-intensive university by the Association of MBAs and is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of research-intensive universities in the United Kingdom (AMBA).
