Education for a Positive Future
Transforming education for a changing world.
The future isn’t fixed, neither is our approach to education. At Exeter, our students shape their degree through flexible pathways, build skills that matter and engage with challenges that extend beyond the classroom.
Our approach brings together research, innovation and global perspectives to create an education that prepares students for what comes next.

We are evolving our undergraduate education to create flexible, engaging and future-focused learning experiences for all our students.
Our programmes are designed to give you choice and agency in how you learn combined with the skills, confidence and support you need to thrive both at university and beyond. Through research-led teaching, the use of technology, and opportunities to engage beyond the classroom, we support you to explore ideas, apply your knowledge and develop the skills needed for the future.
This approach is supported by initiatives such as our Education Incubator, which enables our academics to develop and test new approaches to teaching and learning such as gamification, ensuring our education continues to evolve in response to new ideas, technologies and student needs.
We believe education should open doors, not define limits. You can shape your degree through flexible options, including Minors: Future Skills Pathways, alongside opportunities to work across disciplines and connect your learning to global challenges.
Future17, the Sustainable Development Goals Challenge Program, co-created in association with QS, brings together students from across all six continents to work alongside global organisations in virtual groups to develop solutions to help meet the UN’s SDGs. Along with a strong focus on developing transferable skills, this programme enables you to broaden perspectives and collaborate with others to address shared global issues.
Our students are active participants in their education. They help shape their learning experience, contribute to how we teach, and develop the confidence to pursue their own ideas and ambitions.
This approach is underpinned by a commitment to inclusion, sustainability and innovation ensuring every student is supported to succeed and prepared for what comes next.
This is not just education. This is an education for a Positive Future.
We are cultivating innovation and collaboration by creating spaces where academics can discover, develop and explore new ideas.
The 鉴黄师app and QS are collaborating to lead the creation of a transformative educational partnership between the world’s leading universities and global organisations. We aim to empower and enable the next generation of students to answer the questions that will shape today, tomorrow and the future for us all.
Driven by an ethos of delivering education through innovation and by adapting creative approaches, we’ve been working on a range of projects under the banner of ‘The Playful University’, solving problems and overcoming obstacles with joy, engagement and a sense of fun.
Technology plays a key role in modern education and the 鉴黄师app is at the forefront, giving students the opportunity to learn in ways that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago.
Success for All is one of five Focus Themes at the heart of our Education Strategy and makes inclusivity, accessibility, potential and wellbeing all key pillars in achieving potential and eliminating gaps in access, attainment and progression.'
As part of our commitment to Education for a Positive Future, we're creating learning experiences that are more flexible, inclusive and connected to the world beyond the classroom. Explore how academics, students and partners are working together to shape a curriculum that builds confidence, develops future-focused skills and supports success for all.
We’re championing opportunities for our students to engage with students from a range of disciplines and countries, as well as learning from academics from international partner universities. Ours is a truly global approach, unlimited by traditional boundaries and dedicated to opening up innovative opportunities for all.
Learning is enriched when different perspectives come together. This case study explores how connected classrooms are bringing students together across countries, cultures and disciplines, creating collaborative learning experiences that challenge assumptions, broaden understanding and build the skills needed to work in an increasingly interconnected world.
