We celebrated the achievements of our students and graduates through the University of Exeter Employment Awards 2025. These awards formally recognise students who balance employment alongside their studies, and recent graduates working full-time within the local business community. Their dedication, time management, and drive to enhance their employability demonstrate a strong commitment to future career success. 

The awards also honour and strengthen the partnerships between the University and employers in our business community, increasing the visibility of the support the University can provide for local business growth, whilst creating employment opportunities for students. The awards are also a way to thank employers who provide meaningful opportunities for growth, mentorship, and development at the start of a student’s career journey.

By celebrating both individuals and employers, we are embedding innovation and entrepreneurship in our education, equipping our students for the future and benefitting wider society.

As part of our commitment to invest in?digital technology, we have upgraded the Exeter Learning Environment (ELE) to transform how our students and academics engage with learning and assessment.?? 
 
This upgraded ELE, often called ELE 2, was successfully launched in the 2023/24 academic year. A new dashboard ensures that students have all their resources in one place and students can now access all modules and assessments throughout the duration of their time at Exeter. Improved assessment tools streamline the marking workflow and encourage richer, more accessible feedback. A new content rollover process allows academics to prepare earlier for each academic year.? 
 
These upgraded features enable us to ensure our teaching and learning tools continue to enhance and personalise student engagement, learning and support.? 

Together with Exeter Students’ Guild and Falmouth & Exeter Students’ Union we have jointly achieved the Responsible Futures accreditation. This accreditation reflects a shared commitment to embedding holistic sustainability across our curriculum and campuses. Currently, Exeter is the only Russell Group University to hold full accreditation, showcasing our work to integrate sustainability and social responsibility into the student experience. This milestone demonstrates the collaborative efforts of our colleagues, students, and community partners in ensuring ethical leadership and environmental stewardship as we prepare our students to make a positive difference in the world.

We aim to challenge and inspire our community of learners from every background to thrive, develop the skills they need for the future and lead the change the world needs, which is why we’ve been ranked 18th among UK universities in the influential?Guardian University Guide 2024. Universities are ranked according to a number of factors, including teaching excellence, student satisfaction and career prospects. The guide is also accompanied by subject and discipline rankings with three of our subjects ranking in the top five, a further nine securing places in the top ten and another 12 subjects ranked between 11th and 20th place.  

We are dedicated to excellence in research and education,?as well as creating a greener, fairer and heathier future for all, which is why we have been named as runner-up in the prestigious University of the Year award for the second successive year, in the influential The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. The guide is made up of a number of indicators including student satisfaction with teaching and wider student experience, research quality and graduate prospects. We also rose two places in the overall rankings within the guide, moving up two places to 11th nationally. 

We’re committed to inspiring our community of learners and giving them the skills they need for the future, through teaching excellence. We were awarded ‘solid gold standard’ in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework assessment, in recognition of our commitment to world-class teaching and learning environments, as well as employability for our graduates. The prestigious gold rating is underpinned by two aspects of the assessment – Student Experience and Student Outcomes and we are only one of four Russell Group institutions to achieve this ‘solid gold’ assessment. 

We’re committed to digitally enhancing our student engagement and learning, to ensure that students from all backgrounds have access to education and support at any time. In response to student feedback, we have developed the MyExeter app which supports students at every step of their journey; from their first day until they graduate. Launched in September 2023, the app includes an overview of their day, including lectures and room bookings, one place to access all events and news relating to their life on campus, finding and booking study spaces, and many more useful features. We are also continually updating and testing the app with student feedback, ensuring that it continues to add value to their experience at Exeter. 

As well as using digital innovation to improve the student experience, we are also supporting our students with digital transformation. Our Digital Hub service provides help and guidance to all students, with using the digital tools available to them at Exeter. We have physical Hubs on our 草榴社区地址 and Penryn campuses, staffed by our expert Student Ambassadors and providing in-person support, as well as an online Digital Hub with helpful video and written guides to ensure our students can always find the answers they need. Our students can choose whether to book a session with an expert, find a guide online, or come along to one of our on-campus Hubs for in-person support five days a week.

We have digitally transformed the process for our visa holding international students to comply with their visa requirements and confirm their attendance, making the experience more efficient. The dedicated Check In feature within the new MyExeter app is now enabled for 480 teaching locations across our campuses. This functionality avoids over 5000 international students?having to attend ten physical meetings per year to?confirm their attendance.?Since the launch, we have continued to improve the process based on student feedback and have integrated the Check In feature into the MyDay timetable feature within the app, as well as adding a reminder functionality.  

We are not only committed to a fairer society in which everyone has access to higher education, but also fostering an interdisciplinary approach that creates a sense of community and allows our students to tackle the biggest challenges of the future. We are proud to be a leading provider of Degree Apprenticeships nationally and the largest provider among the Russell Group universities. We work with over 450 employers and have over 3,300 apprentices enrolled across 18 programmes spanning health, engineering, digital, leadership and management.

We believe in a fair and inclusive society and in the face of the cost-of-living crisis we’ve been working hard to ensure that our students have access to the support they need to ensure their success at University. We offer a variety of support including offers on food and drink on our campuses, advice on saving money on bills and housing, mental health services and library resources. We also provide access to the Success for All hardship fund, which is available to students experiencing financial difficulties, alongside a wide range of bursaries and other funding opportunities. We have also recognised hardship as a reason to be able to apply for a deadline extension.

We create spaces that promote respect, community and inclusion across our campuses, which is why there is now a dedicated Muslim Prayer Room in Tremough House on our Penryn Campus. Opened in 2023, this space is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can be accessed via Penryn Campus ID cards. The space allows for segregated prayer and has separate washing facilities for men and women. Prayer mats are provided and Jum’ah (Friday Prayers) take place every Friday starting at 1.30pm.

As part of our Strategy 2030 fairer goals, our apprenticeship programmes offer students alternative routes through higher education and their chosen career paths. Our radiography programme, which aims to support learners at all stages of their careers, is the first of its kind offering a full degree programme as part of an innovative “earn while you learn” model which the government is looking to roll out to reduce NHS staff shortages. With an average age of 35 and coming from a range of backgrounds, the first cohort of students to complete the apprenticeship are now embarking on their new healthcare careers as qualified radiographers.

We understand that an interdisciplinary approach to education contributes to a greener, fairer and healthier future for all, but how can we ensure our students are prepared for the workplace and the challenges of the future? Education Secretary Gillian Keegan MP formally opened our Centre for Degree Apprenticeships in October 2023, to ensure graduates are equipped with the skills they need to lead successful and fulfilling careers. We offer a range of programmes, including customised pathways that precisely meet the specific needs of employers. We work with over 200 UK-based and global organisations to address skill deficits, ensuring that our curriculum aligns with current and future demands of the workforce.

We are always looking for ways to improve the experiences of our students, including ensuring an excellent on-campus living experience. We are currently seeking to increase our student accommodation by creating new and refurbished modern, purpose built living facilities. This will provide our students with the opportunity to live close to their campus and reduce the search for third party providers in the city. As well as accommodation this new development will include a reception, catered dining halls, shops and spaces for study and socialising.

Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we are always looking for innovative ways to enhance the student experience. We asked our students what improvements they would like to see in their day to day lives at the University and we are now building a progressive web app (WPA) that supports students from the very first day of their journey until they graduate. This includes features that give them an overview of their day, from lectures to room bookings, maps to help them navigate the campuses and help finding spaces to book for study. We’re also asking current students to test the app and contribute to its design, ensuring that they have a say in the project.

We believe effective assessments and examinations are critical to the success of our students, and following a successful pilot in Spring 2023, we will be rolling out an upgraded version of the Exeter Learning Environment (ELE) in readiness for the new academic year. This new platform will deliver an improved user experience for students and colleagues, along with new coursework management tools. Assessments can all be undertaken and marked within ELE, along with enhanced marking and feedback tools such as annotations, that make it quicker and easier to track work.

A strategic priority for our Education and Student Experience theme is to expand our degree apprenticeships to support learners at all stages of their careers, we have made significant progress in this area and have also set out our ambitions for the future. In October 2022 we launched the Centre of Degree Apprenticeships, with the core aim to grow the University’s degree apprenticeship provision ensuring exceptional quality of education. Together the Centre for Degree Apprenticeships and our Degree Apprenticeship Hub aim to provide opportunities, with the goal of enrolling 4000 new apprentices by 2030. This growth will be achieved by growing new and existing employer relationships and ensuring that the curriculum offer meets the skills needs of our employer partners both now and in the future.
