April 2022

Applications are still open!

We are still accepting applications to Exeter College, and have three further interview dates taking place before the end of the summer term.

We would encourage any interested learners to complete their applications as soon as possible, to allow the admissions department time to process the application, gain additional information if required, and schedule the learner an interview.

We will continue to accept applications over the summer holidays and late interviews usually take place at the start of September. However, as we cannot guarantee course availability at this late stage, we would strongly recommend interested learners apply sooner.

Open Events

The last open event of the academic year will be taking place on Thursday 28^th April from 4-7pm. All the city centre sites will be open along with the Construction Centre at Sowton and the Technology Centre at Monkerton. We recommend students register to attend beforehand, as they will then receive the event programme in advance.

The Open Event will be helpful for any year 11s who are yet to apply, want to gather additional information on their course choices, or who want another opportunity to familiarise themselves with the Exeter College buildings.

We would also welcome year 10 learners who would like to start exploring their post 16 options to attend the Open Event.

Course Guides

We have a limited number of boxes of this year's course guides still available. If you would like some additional course guides to share with your year 10s, any open event promotional materials, or copies of our new posters highlighting the various opportunities at Exeter College, please email us and we would be pleased to arrange a delivery. The brand new course guide will be available from September.

Curriculum Update - Wednesday 15th June

This year's event will be taking place in person at the Digital and Data Centre on the main Hele Road site from 10am until 2.15pm. The day is an opportunity to familiarise (or re-familiarise!) yourself with Exeter College, receive updates from key college staff that will be useful for you and your learners, and meet with careers contacts from other schools.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear updates on Foundation Studies and Support, Apprenticeships, T levels, the application and interview procedure, as well as Student Support and Wellbeing. Lunch will be provided.
Please email cat@exe-coll.ac.uk by Friday 20^th May if you would like to express your interest in attending the event.
