The ISS has continued to both reinforce our links with
partners and help establish new agreements. 17 university
partners sent groups of students to this year’s programme
including the University of Southern Florida (17 students),
Fudan University (6 students), Peking University
(3 students), University of Alberta (3 students), East China
Normal University (3 students) and Tsinghua University
(2 students). In 2014 we also received our first student
from the University of Calcutta, where we are developing
links ahead of a Presidential-level visit in 2014/15.

The ISS has again been successful in creating further
opportunities for Exeter students overseas. Following
the establishment of a partnership with the Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in the area of Clinical
Psychology, 3 of their students enrolled in the ISS for
the first time. In return the CUHK has offered to waive
the tuition fees for Exeter students who wish to study
at their Summer School. Ewha Womans University
in South Korea also sent 4 students to the ISS for the
first time and subsequently invited Exeter students to
attend their summer school programme. This is an
increasingly important aspect of the ISS as the University
is committed to obtaining Study Abroad places for all
Exeter undergraduates who wish to participate.
The ISS continues to attract the brightest students from
around the world with 25% of this year’s cohort having
a current GPA equivalent to a 1st class degree. Ten of
the world’s Top-50 universities (according to the QS
rankings) were represented on this year’s programme.
The ISS is also becoming more diverse, with students
from 20 nationalities enrolled on the programme, with
an increasing percentage coming from outside of China.
In addition to students from partner institutions the
ISS has received an increasing number of students
from around the world who apply independently
and who have selected Exeter’s programme as their
preferred summer school in what is an increasingly
crowded market.
