Our story is your story.Your story can shape theirs.
In every story, there’s a moment that changes everything.
At Exeter, people discover who they are, what they love, even who they love, and why. With your support, generations of students to come will experience those life-changing moments for themselves in a story that has been seven centuries in the making.
Because Exeter’s story is your story.
And, thanks to you, it can be their story too.

Your story began here
Off Turl Street, through the gates – where then?
Up the well-worn staircase to the room that, creaking plumbing and all, became your home from home? For tea with the tutor who showed you a world of opportunities? To the top of the Mound, just to breathe it all in?

We’re bringing the life-changing moments and places that shaped your story to the next generation. But we can’t do it without you.
Because that’s our story: Centuries of people discovering themselves, and passing it on.
Your support tells a story.
Ours, yours, and now theirs.
Think big. Shape the future.
You don’t come to Exeter to avoid hard questions, or to do the bare minimum. You come to Exeter to be challenged, to grow, to find out what you think – and why you think it.
We’re protecting the world-class teaching that challenged you to bring your A-game – so that they can rise to the challenge, too.
Open doors. Change lives.
When you came to Exeter, we helped you write your story. For the next generation, we’re looking further, opening more doors, and turning mere possibilities into life-changing moments.
From First Visits to Freshers’ to Finals, we’re strengthening our outreach, extending our financial support, and deepening our commitment to every student’s success. Because you seized every opportunity, and so should they.
Protect the past. Prepare for the future.
Through every passage, around every corner – Exeter is pure magic. But you shouldn’t have to overlook the creaky plumbing, just because you’re overlooking the Rad Cam.
We’re a place of contradictions: tradition and innovation; compact size and a massive impact; cutting-edge research and single-glazed windows. Now, we’re doing the impossible – again. A medieval site. Fit for the future. Magic.
Our story is your story.
Will you make a gift, and make it their story too?
