Exeter College

Exeter College is the tertiary college for the City of Exeter and surrounding parts of Mid, East and South Devon. The College also attracts a number of students from other parts of the UK and from overseas, partly as a result of our highly successful International Baccalaureate programme. As a tertiary college, Exeter offers a very wide range of post-16 education and training opportunities through:

The ‘Sixth’ at Exeter College
Vocational Education & Training [Workforce Development]
Lifelong Learning and Higher Education at Exeter College

Each of these sectors is led by one of the College’s Directors and offers an unusually wide range of courses, programmes, qualifications and other learning opportunities which are of high quality and have proved to be of interest to the whole community.


Through the ‘Sixth’ sector, we offer 45 different AS/A2 subjects, the prestigious International Baccalaureate, National Diplomas/AVCEs in 12 subjects and various vocational NVQ courses.


Through the Workforce Development sector we offer AVCE/National Diplomas, NVQs and HNC/HND courses in Construction, Engineering, Motor Vehicle, Health & Care, Hair & Beauty, Hospitality & Catering, Business Administration and IT.


Our Lifelong Learning and HE sector offers full-time and part-time courses to over 10,000 adult learners each year, from leisure classes to degree programmes.


And, of course, we offer a diverse range of opportunities across all our sectors for students with learning disabilities and difficulties.


If you decide to come to the college you will be supported by a tutorial system, which ensures that your individual needs are met from the very start and you will be supported throughout your course. Enrolment to programmes is based on your ambitions, interests, aptitudes and abilities as well as previous examination achievements. As you progress through your course you will receive guidance on opportunities open to you via further study within the college, in Higher Education, or employment. In the recent national inspection, support for students at Exeter College was described as “outstanding”.

The college has always been proud that its entry requirements do not place artificial barriers in the way of recruitment to its courses. We wish to give all students the opportunity to achieve their academic potential. However, experience has shown us that there are minimum requirements necessary if good results are to be achieved, hence clear entry requirements are linked to each course. Guidance staff at enrolment follow these requirements as they guide students on to a programme where they will be likely to succeed.

The excellent examination results and other achievements of our students are evidence that we are successful in supporting students through this process. I hope very much that you will choose Exeter College for your further education and look forward to welcoming you to the college.
