foreword
Internationalisation at Exeter is a strategy we have employed with
increasing success. Since our current Strategy was launched in 2010,
we have been able to demonstrate sustained progress towards our
stated ambitions, as detailed by this latest Annual Report.
The past year has seen Exeter ranked in the Top-100
‘most international’ universities in the world by the
THE, providing some external validation that our
efforts to invest in international engagement are having
an impact. As we enter the last year of our current
Strategy, we will begin to turn our attention to the
next phase of Internationalisation at Exeter which will
take us to 2020. I believe the data in this Report will
show that we have a strong platform upon which
to build.
I would like to thank John Allwood, the University’s
Dual Assurance lead for Internationalisation, for guiding
colleagues through another successful year. In addition,
I wish to acknowledge the leadership of my
predecessor, Professor Neil Armstrong, who led the
University’s Internationalisation Strategy so ably since
its inception.
