Exeter College was established in 1970 as the first tertiary college in the UK, providing all post-16 education and training for the city of Exeter, bringing together the former grammar schools’ sixth forms and Exeter Technical College.

We are an exciting, friendly and purposeful college where we're committed to ensuring all our students' success.
