The University of Exeter has three campuses:

The Streatham Campus is the University's largest campus, built around a country estate. Streatham Campus is described by The Times as the 'best-gardened campus in Britain', and the grounds feature stunning views across the city to the sea at Exmouth. Many students say they fell in love with the campus when they came to visit - its lakes and woodlands make it a special place that offers a safe and enjoyable environment for study. The campus is a twenty minute walk or five minute bus ride from the city centre. All the teaching buildings, sports facilities, library, shops, restaurants, caf�s and bars are within walking distance of each other. Streatham Campus is currently undergoing a �48 million development: The Forum Project. This project will provide an extension to the library, purpose-built learning spaces, landscaped piazzas and a new student support centre.

The St Luke?s Campus is 15 minutes' walk from the city centre and just over a mile away from the Streatham Campus. It is home to students in the Graduate School of Education, the School of Sport and Health Sciences and the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry. Students have studied at St Luke?s for over 150 years, and the campus has retained a vibrant and friendly collegiate atmosphere. Walk through the arches of the traditional North Cloisters and you will see the lawns of the quadrangle surrounded by modern teaching buildings. Facilities include the �1 million refurbishment of the library, IT facilities, modern seminar rooms and lecture theatres. There are also excellent facilities for sport including an air-conditioned health and fitness studio and an indoor heated swimming pool.

The Cornwall Campus is set in 70 acres of countryside, close to the waterside town of Falmouth, and boasts beautiful views over the Fal estuary. It offers peace and tranquillity as well as a lively student community with a vibrant mixture of students from science, engineering, humanities and arts backgrounds. The Environment and Sustainability Institute, which is due to be completed by 2012, will be a world leader in research into the leading causes and consequences of environmental change and how to manage its effects. The environment and sustainability are key themes underpinning the unique ethos of the Cornwall Campus. Together they form the basis for much of our research at the campus and are a direct or indirect part of all our degree programmes offered in Cornwall.
