What to do before you arrive

By now you’ve probably already received lots of information from us about important things to do before your degree programme begins. This is a good time to read through the University’s New Students webpages and to make sure that you’ve completed all the essential tasks.

You can then be sure that everything goes smoothly through induction and transition, leaving you more time to enjoy your first few days as an Exeter student!

If you’re an international student, you’ll also have some additional tasks to complete at the start of your studies, so please make sure that you read the important information about visas, healthcare and finance to avoid any unnecessary delays.

If you’re arriving from abroad into Heathrow airport, you can also reserve a place on our Airport Collection Service that runs on 14th and 15th September 2024 for the Penryn campuses.  Coaches will be departing from terminal 5, London Heathrow, at 11am on both days.  You’ll be met by our friendly International Welcome Team, with coaches to escort you all the way to Cornwall. It costs £50 per person, and you must book in advance. Bookings are allocated on a first come, first served basis and will close on Tuesday 10th September at 12 noon. Please read the further information for full details.

Take a look at this map and film tour of the campus to help you feel acquainted with it!
