The University of Exeter is an inclusive community where everyone has the right to thrive and be treated with respect. Throughout the year we will celebrate and promote that strength in diversity. Equally we will not tolerate any form of harassment or bullying and encourage people to speak out whenever they see or experience discrimination or abuse.
Welcome to Our Inclusive Community
Connect and Network
Being part of an inclusive community gives you the opportunity to meet, study and live with lots of people with different perspectives and experiences.
There are lots of ways to connect and network we hold many events which celebrate our diversity:
• 260+ student societies including faith, worldview, liberation and representation societies
• Academic subject networks
• Celebrations, discussions and events throughout the year! Look out for our next set of activities planned as part of Black History Month in October
How to report and get support
We will not tolerate harassment or discrimination. If you experience or witness any behaviours which are not inclusive please report it - no matter how minor you think it might be. This includes online behaviour
• Visit our Exeter Speak Out webpages to:
– make a report confidentially and anonymously
– get support
• Speak to a member of staff you trust (i.e Personal Academic Tutor, Supervisor, Head of Department, Hub staff, Wellbeing Services, Dignity and Respect Advisor)
