Exeter has been named as The Sunday Times University of the Year 2012/13. We have also been ranked 7th in the UK by The Sunday Times. We are in the top one per cent of universities in the world, and a regular fixture in the top 10 league tables in The Guardian and The Times. Ninety per cent of our research was rated as internationally recognised in the latest (2008) Research Assessment Exercise. The Cornwall Campus offers excellent facilities for teaching and research, and brings the heart of the University to an environment unrivalled in the UK. It offers a friendly atmosphere as well as innovative programmes taught by world-class academics. Living and studying in Cornwall is not like living and studying anywhere else. Cornwall has its own energy and feel; people tend not to end up here by chance, they come for a reason, and there are plenty of good reasons to choose from. The smaller scale helps; year after year, students tell us how much they like being somewhere sufficiently intimate for them to see faces they recognise, to be recognised themselves, and to be on first-name terms with so many other students and staff. They tell us, too, what an amazing place this is to live, not just because it's the Cornwall they expect (beaches, beauty, sunsets, friendliness) but because it's the Cornwall that takes them by surprise (music, culture, energy, ambition). Sharing a campus helps as well. Locally, it's known as Tremough, and we share it with Falmouth University. This creates a vibrant, creative mix of students with science, engineering, humanities and arts backgrounds. The environment and sustainability are important to us; they're the basis for a lot of the research undertaken here, and they feed - directly and indirectly - into all our degree programmes. Our new Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) is now open: a £30 million interdisciplinary centre in a brand new BREEAM Outstanding rated building, it brings together state-of-the-art resources with leading academics to pioneer cutting-edge research into solutions to problems of environmental change. It's not the only new facility either: the £10 million Exchange is a striking extension to the Learning Resource Centre, it provides a range of distinctive new spaces suitable for 21st century learning.

We're leading cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research into solutions to problems of environmental change, with the aim of enhancing people’s lives by improving their relationships with the environment.

For 2013, Confluence takes the Tremough Campus as a starting point to explore how art can transform the way we interact with and interpret the environment around us. The projects selected for the Summer Term reacted to and highlighted invisible factors that shape the way in which we experience the space around us. The work highlighted a shared line of enquiry between the University of Exeter and Falmouth University, who share and jointly manage the Campus: that of analysing, interacting with and affecting the environment. The programme connects with many of the disciplines studied and researched on campus such as geography, music and digital media. Transient and time-based, the work selected created pockets of activity that pop up around campus throughout the year and encouraged different uses of social and academic spaces. By responding to factors such as time, sound and existing infrastructures, these projects didn't just introduce new imagery and objects to the campus. Instead they simply brought to our attention that which is always around us, and happening now.

We are a pioneering partnership that delivers Academic & Student Support Services, Campus Services and Estates & Development Services to students and staff from both institutions. Like this page to receive cross-institutional campus news and events information.
