We’re excited to share that the University of Exeter’s newly redesigned About Us section is now live.
This has been a major collaborative effort across the University, and it marks a significant step forward in how we present who we are, what we stand for and the story behind our institution.
Over the past few months, we’ve worked with a number of colleagues across the University to ensure the refreshed pages offer a clearer, more engaging reflection of Exeter’s identity. The result is a set of pages with improved structure, navigation and storytelling, giving visitors a much stronger sense of our purpose, values and achievements.
What’s new?
A clearer, more coherent structure
The redesigned section improves how users find and understand key information, with cleaner navigation, better grouping of related content and clearer pathways for all our audiences.
A refreshed history timeline
We’ve also revitalised the University’s history timeline to create a more engaging way to explore our origins, milestones and evolution over time.
Improved visuals and storytelling
The new pages use enhanced visuals, updated layouts and refined messaging to ensure our brand feels modern, consistent and reflective of the University’s ambitions.
Our Story: Who we are and what drives us
A highlight of the relaunch is the refreshed Our Story page.
This page weaves together the core elements of Exeter’s identity—our values, ambitions, people and global impact—offering an inspiring introduction to the University.
Strategy 2030: Our vision for the future
The updated About Us section provides clearer access to Strategy 2030, helping users understand where the University is heading and why.
It outlines our long‑term goals and the tangible steps we’re taking to create a greener, healthier and fairer future.
Governance: How the University is structured and led
We’ve also strengthened access to the University’s Governance pages.
These pages explain how decisions are made, how the University is overseen, and the structures in place to ensure transparency and accountability.
League Tables & Rankings: Showcasing our performance
Another key component now more clearly signposted in the redesigned section is League Tables & Rankings.
This page highlights the University’s performance across global and national rankings, showcasing areas where Exeter excels—whether in research, sustainability, subject strengths or overall reputation. Bringing this content into clearer view helps users understand Exeter’s standing and achievements within the higher education landscape.
Designed for our community
Ultimately, the new About Us section is designed for everyone who wants to understand the University better—prospective students, partners, alumni, staff and visitors.
This relaunch represents a genuinely collaborative effort, and we’d like to thank all colleagues involved—from content experts and editors to the multimedia design studio, campaigns, marketing and web teams—for helping bring this work to life.
What’s next?
We’ll continue to monitor and refine these pages based on user needs, feedback and analytics. If you have ideas or suggestions for further improvements, please get in touch with the Web Team—we’d love to hear from you.
