In order to improve our competitiveness we will
implement a number of developments for the 2015
programme. The International Office will work with
Colleges to develop new pathways and increase the
total number of student enrolments. Discussions
have already taken place with English, Geography and
Psychology, which is the key area for partnerships with
Fudan University, East China Normal University and the
Chinese University of Hong Kong. The ISS has been
identified as a means to further support partnership
engagement and discussions are planned between
Exeter’s Modern Language department and Peking
University’s MTI (Master in Translating and Interpreting)
Education Centre about developing a collaborative ISS
programme in Translation.
Alongside our 3rd Exeter-Fulbright Summer Institute,
the ISS will also run our first Santander-Exeter Summer
Institute. This 4 week programme is funded by
Santander and will engage with our Brazilian partners,
the University of Sao Paulo, the Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz
(Fiocruz) and Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais
(INPE). Further fully-funded places will be available via
open competition which will raise Exeter’s profile in the
Brazilian higher education market.
In September 2014 the University of Exeter’s
International Summer School was shortlisted for the
Times Higher Education awards under the category
‘Outstanding International Student Strategy’.
