A welcome message from the Vice-Chancellor
International students studying at the INTO
University of Exeter Centre have a strong track
record of success. Results from our latest cohort
indicate that over 95 per cent of students passed
the Foundation programme and every one
of the Graduate Certificate students passed.
Congratulations to all of them! We are also delighted
to announce that over 90 per cent of students
completing academic preparation programmes who
were eligible to progress onto one of the University’s
degrees have chosen to do so.
They have joined a successful and expanding
University. Exeter is consistently ranked amongst
the Uk’s top 20 universities by the four main
league tables published by the Times, the Sunday
Times, the Independent and the Guardian.
Our highest position is 9th. The Times Good
University Guide 2010 ranks 21 of our subjects in
the top 10 including General Engineering, Sports
Science, Economics, Drama, Politics, Psychology
and Middle East Studies. We are also ranked 4th
in the UK amongst traditional universities for
student satisfaction – and are very proud to have
maintained our top ten position in this important
assessment for the last four years.
To reinforce our position as an outstanding
university we have embarked on an impressive
three-year £270 million investment programme
in new buildings, research centres, student
residences and campus facilities.
There are many good reasons to choose the INTO
University of Exeter Centre to continue your
studies. Whatever your reason – we look forward
to welcoming you.
Professor Steve Smith
Vice-Chancellor, University of Exeter
A welcome message from INTO
INTO University of Exeter has just completed
another highly successful year. Nearly 300
international students progressed to the
University from our academic preparation
programmes, and another 400 students entered
directly from our English language courses.
The number of students choosing to study at
the Centre continues to rise, supported by
the top-ten status of the University, the good
reputation of our courses, the excellent student
support we offer, and the beautiful and secure
environment of the campus.
When you study with us you will enjoy a wide
range of courses and an exciting choice of modules
– all designed to prepare you for your chosen
degree. Whatever subject you choose, you can be
sure of expert tuition and personal guidance. Our
aim is that you become a confident, independent
learner, ready for all the challenges and rewards of
a top UK university education.
We will also provide you with a rich
social experience. More than 40 different
nationalities are currently represented at
the Centre, providing you with the ideal
opportunities to make friends with other
students from different cultures and
backgrounds. You will also be a full member of
the University from the moment you register
for your course with full access to all of the
first-class study, sport and social facilities
on campus. There’s so much going on and we
encourage you to get involved!
I look forward to meeting you and welcoming
you to our Centre.

Learning and teaching
Excellent reputation
The University of Exeter is one of the UK’s
most popular universities with around eight
applications for every undergraduate place.
Tracing its history back to various educational
bodies created in the mid 1800s the University
was awarded its own Charter (and degree
awarding powers) in 1955. In the last 50 years,
Exeter has developed into a three-campus
university with approximately 15,000 full-time
students, of which around 3,000 come from over
120 countries outside the UK.
The University is consistently ranked amongst
the top 20 UK universities. Exeter ranks 9th
out of 114 UK institutions in the Times Good
University Guide 2010. The Times also ranks 21
of Exeter’s subjects in the top ten 10 including
General Engineering, Sports Science, Economics,
Drama, Politics, Psychology and Middle East
Studies. The University is also ranked in the top
10 for teaching, academic support, organisation
and management, and overall satisfaction.*
Our beautiful campus environment ensures an
excellent study environment for international
students with all the accommodation, academic,
social and sports facilities within easy walking
distance of each other, and only a short bus ride
from the historic city centre. The University has
over 4,000 study bedrooms ranging from catered
halls, self-catering flats and shared houses, to
self-contained family flats.
Wide choice of subjects
In addition to a wide variety of undergraduate
Bachelor’s degrees, many of which are
professionally recognised, the University offers
a range of specialist Masters programmes and
first-class supervision for research degrees
across a broad range of academic disciplines.
We recognise that no two people have exactly
the same interests. The University’s aim is for
students to have as much choice as possible so
that you can shape your degree to your interests
and career plans.
The University’s academic departments are
arranged into Schools, some of which cover a
single subject, for example Biosciences, and some
of which cover several interrelated disciplines,
for example Humanities and Social Sciences.
INTO University of Exeter students live and
study on the Streatham Campus which is home
to most of the University’s academic Schools
including Business, Law, Humanities and
Social Sciences, Psychology, Engineering and
Biosciences. They can also access the facilities
of the St Luke’s campus, situated 20 minutes
by bus across the city and which specialises
in Education, Medicine and Sports Science.
The University’s third campus, which opened
in 2004, is located 90 miles west of Exeter
in Cornwall. The Cornwall Campus offers a
variety of subjects, including Law, Politics and
English Literature along with specialist courses
in Conservation Biology, Renewable Energy,
Climate Change, Environmental Science,
Geology and Mining Engineering.
Excellent employment prospects
Amongst traditional research-led universities we
offer an exceptionally wide range of opportunities
for you to gain the skills employers want, giving
you a head start in your career. From study
abroad opportunities, management training
to business placements, one of the UK’s largest
student volunteering programmes to a world
wide network of study abroad opportunities and
careers advice from our own successful graduates,
there is a wealth of opportunity to add value to
your employment prospects.

Expert teaching
The University is committed to high quality
teaching in a research-rich environment. At the
University of Exeter students study and learn
with the experts – with those who write the
books and create the knowledge, not just those
who read other people’s books. This means that
our students benefit from access to the latest
thinking, equipment and resources.
Exeter has one of the highest National Student
Survey rankings in the country, being in the
top 5 for the last two years and in the top 10
since the survey began. In 2009, we came 4th in
the UK* 24 of our 31 subjects are ranked in the
top 15 nationally according to the Times Good
University Guide 2010.
The University of Exeter Business School has
topped the NSS subject rankings for overall
student satisfaction among all UK business
schools for four years running.
The University also has one of the highest
proportions of students receiving first and 2.1
class degrees and an excellent track record for
students who complete their degrees.
Quality of research
In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise
(2008) all our subjects were assessed as including
world leading (4*) research and nearly 90% of
our research was rated as being ‘internationally
recognised’. Sixteen of our 31 subjects are
ranked in their respective top 10, with 27 in their
respective top 20. What’s more - 95 per cent of
our staff submitted to the latest RAE - a much
higher proportion than most other universities.
An £80 million investment programme in science,
medicine and engineering infrastructure and
appointments is boosting research and teaching
in these areas.
Research activities at the University have
generated three prestigious Queen’s Anniversary
Prizes, the latest for research into diabetes. Our
research has also created a number of companies
and many opportunities for the exploitation of
intellectual property. These include innovations
for the rapid detection of malaria, cancer
therapeutics, next generation recording media,
driver assessment and training, counter-intuitive
materials, and the psychology of office space.
The Postgraduate and International Centre on the
Streatham Campus offers purpose-built study and
leisure facilities, including a 24-hour computer
room, lounges, seminar room and a café.
How does the University teach?
The University thinks of students as their
partners in the learning process. Students
should expect to be active contributors especially
in seminars and tutorials; our learning and
teaching style and ethos encourages active
participation by students. How you learn
varies according to which degree programme
you are studying. Lectures and tutorials play
an important part but many other methods,
including video-conferencing, webcasting
and online discussion forums, enable you to
enhance your subject knowledge. Similarly,
science courses have more practical or laboratory
assignments and field work may be an important
aspect of some courses.
As well as lectures and seminars, you will need
to spend time working on your own, studying
and researching in the library, or carrying
out practical work. You will be provided with
a reading list for each unit you take but are
responsible for planning your own reading and
private study. Support is available to help you to
make the best use of your time.
How are students assessed?
Exams are likely to be just one of the ways
in which students are assessed. Continuous
assessment allows you to work steadily rather
than have everything depend on an intense exam
period. You will be told how much each form
of assessment counts towards your final result.
The ratio of exams to continuous assessment
depends on the subject you are studying and
selection of modules. Final undergraduate degree
classifications are determined by grades achieved
in the second and third year of study.
What support can students expect?
Our supportive environment starts before
you leave home with detailed pre-arrival
information and an induction programme for
new students. We understand that studying
overseas can be a big step and want to ensure
you are equipped to make the most of the
academic and cultural experience.
For students who feel that their work could be
improved through development of new study
techniques, the Student Learning Skills Service
provides study skills support in:
time organisation and prioritising•
assignment planning and writing•
reading strategies and note-taking•
revision and exam techniques.•
Free in-sessional English language support is
also available for students progressing to degree
courses who feel they need further tailored
support throughout their studies.
Our network of experienced professional staff
in the Student Advice Unit, Student Counselling
Service, Chaplaincy, Accommodation and
International Student Support Offices are on
hand to help should you need it, whatever
the problem.

University of Exeter 7
One of the lesser-known recipes for happiness is to live in a place where other people choose to go on holiday. [The University] has campuses in the cathedral city and also near Falmouth, in Cornwall, as well as coastline, countryside and glorious weather. Exeter has an excellent academic reputation – applications far exceed the national average.

The University invested around £10 million
in sport in the last six years to create sports
facilities which are amongst the best in the
UK. All students are encouraged to use the
facilities, which are designed for competitive and
recreational use.
There are facilities on the Streatham Campus
for all the major sports including football,
cricket, hockey, rugby, tennis, squash and
badminton. The Sports Park also has a
90-station air-conditioned health and fitness
studio and runs a varied programme of classes
throughout the year including tai chi, yoga,
pilates and various martial arts.
You can also use the heated indoor swimming
pool at the St Luke’s Campus, which is a 20
minute walk away, or join one of our 50 sports
clubs which include sailing and canoeing (our
location is perfect), along with archery, caving,
climbing, lacrosse and ultimate frisbee. All the
University’s campuses are ideally suited for

A great place to live
The University’s Streatham Campus is one of
the most beautiful in the country. The campus’
lakes, parkland, sculpture trail and gardens,
including a registered Botanic Garden, create a
unique environment in which to study. All of the
teaching buildings together with the Sports Park,
the library, the shopping centre, restaurants,
cafés and bars are conveniently located within
easy walking distance of each other so time
and money are not wasted travelling around. In
addition the city centre is only a five minute bus
ride or 15-minute walk away so you can enjoy
the advantages of a campus-based university
without missing out on life in the city.
City of Exeter
A safe, student-friendly city, Exeter is
consistently rated as one of the best places to
live in the UK for the quality of its amenities,
it’s low crime-rate and it’s proximity to miles of
fantastic countryside nearby.
With a population of around 122,000, the city
happily combines modern life with a sense of the
past. Cafés, restaurants, pubs and shops mix easily
with historic buildings, including the 13th century
cathedral, Mol’s Coffee House and the Ship Inn – a
favourite haunt of Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter
Raleigh. Although a Roman city, Exeter is not
trapped in the past – major investments such as a
£235 million retail centre with over 60 new shops
and restaurants, has confirmed Exeter’s place as
the South West’s major shopping destination.
The South West
The South West is one of Europe’s top holiday
destinations and a paradise for the outdoor
enthusiast – University of Exeter students are
able to enjoy it all year round. When you want
to escape from the city, you’ll find sandy beaches
and some of the most stunning countryside in
Britain right on your doorstep.
Exeter is just 20 minutes by train from the
South Devon coast which has something for
everyone, including bird watching, sailing,
swimming, water-skiing, windsurfing, kite-
surfing and sunbathing!
Devon also has the two National Parks Exmoor
and Dartmoor, that provide exciting challenges
for hikers, climbers, horse riders and cyclists. In
contrast, the gentler Devon landscapes of rolling
hills, rivers, picturesque villages with their
traditional thatched cottages, charming inns and
attractive market towns are perfect for exploring
at a more leisurely pace.
For more information, please visit www.lotstodo.co.uk
Connections
A good road and rail network links Exeter
with the rest of the UK. London is around two
and a half hours away by direct train, or three
hours by road. National Express runs a regular
coach service from London and Heathrow
international airport to Exeter coach station,
which is a 15-minute walk from the campus. St
David’s train station is a five-minute taxi ride
from the campus and provides regular services to
London and all major UK cities. The city also has
its own regional airport with scheduled flights to
Europe and around the UK.

Academic programmes
Foundation programme
The Foundation programme prepares you for
direct entry to the first year of an undergraduate
programme at the University of Exeter. On
successful completion, you will be awarded the
University of Exeter Foundation Certificate,
which, (subject to having acceptable grades for
your chosen degree) guarantees entry to one of
the University of Exeter’s undergraduate degree
programmes. It is also recognised by many other
UK universities. The programme is designed
for international students who have completed
secondary schooling in their own country. The
Foundation programme is three terms in length,
with start dates in September and January
leading to the first year of an undergraduate
degree starting the following September.
There are currently four pathways:
Humanities, Law and Social Science •
Computer Science, Engineering and •
Mathematics
Economics, Finance and Accounting•
Science.•
Detailed programme information: page 18
Diploma programme
This is an advanced, one-academic-year course
of study, which is equivalent to the first
year of an undergraduate degree. Successful
completion of the Diploma programme enables
students to enter the second year of a relevant
undergraduate degree at the University of
Exeter, subject to achieving specified grades
for particular degrees. If you are already in the
first year of a relevant undergraduate degree in
your home country, you may be able to use the
Diploma as a convenient entry method to UK
higher education without having to complete a
Foundation programme.
There is a single pathway available in Business,
Management, Accounting and Economics, which
leads to a range of degrees at the University of
Exeter Business School.
Detailed programme information: page 34

The Graduate Diploma programme prepares
students for entry to a Masters course. It is for
students who have completed a first degree
or diploma but not achieved the necessary
academic qualifications for entry to a UK Masters
degree; or for students who have studied a
different subject at undergraduate level and have
insufficient knowledge of their intended field
of postgraduate study. Students who pass the
Graduate Diploma programme at the appropriate
level are guaranteed a place on a related
Masters degree at the University of Exeter.
Subject modules are combined with academic
English study and the development of essential
advanced-level study skills.
The following Graduate Diploma pathways
are available:
Graduate Diploma in Management•

Studying at INTO University of Exeter was a memorable experience for me. The Foundation program
prepared me for entry to the University and gave me the confidence to succeed in my studies.
The city of Exeter is rich in history, art and culture and with a large students population it offers a unique learning ambiance.
My favourite pastime is to visit the Exeter Phoenix. Every week it had some event that I would attend ranging from
Shakespearean plays to talks covering a variety of subjects.

academic year, depending upon your current
language level and proposed study plan. With
multiple entry points and different durations of
study, the course has the flexibility to cater for
students with different language levels. At the
end of each term, your skills and language will be
assessed to give a clear indication of your progress.
Course content
The English for Undergraduate Study course
will enable you to develop your knowledge,
ability and confidence in a variety of skills that
are essential for undergraduate study. These
include team work, problem solving, critical
thinking, time management, and as your level
increases, research projects, research methods
and quantitative and qualitative data analysis.
Through studying a range of modules, you will
develop a greater command of written and
spoken English, as well as the academic study
skills that are critical for successful study at
undergraduate level.
The course comprises 20 hours of taught lessons
per week plus one hour of directed self-study
available to all students, which will be supervised
by a tutor who will be able to give guidance and
advice on aspects of independent learning. In
order to make good progress, you are expected
to do approximately 20 additional hours of
self-study outside class. This self-study may
include homework and assignments set by
tutors or coursework which will be submitted for
assessment as well as online learning.
At the lower levels, the course will focus on
developing core English language skills including
confidence in speaking, listening, reading and
writing with a particular emphasis on grammar,
vocabulary development, pronunciation and
spoken fluency – preparing you to focus more
on the academic skills once you reach an
intermediate level.
Students study academic English at all levels
of the English for Undergraduate Study and
English for Postgraduate Study courses.
Students may be mixed at lower levels; however,
every attempt will be made to separate
undergraduates from postgraduates at higher
levels in order that they can benefit from input
and material appropriate to their destination.
The following description outlines course content
for different skills and modules. Depending on

your arrival
Travelling to Exeter
When travelling to the UK, you can either choose
to travel via London or pick up a connecting
flight at one of the international airports that
have direct links with Exeter, such as Paris or
Amsterdam. These may be preferable routes as
you will avoid the extra journey from London.
We offer an airportpick-up service from
Heathrow, Gatwick, Bristol and Exeter to your
accommodation at a small additional charge.
If you want to make use of this service you will
need to provide student services with your full
flight details, at least two weeks before your
arrival date.
Students who are under 18
If you are under 18 the airport pick-up service
is compulsory, unless your parents can provide
evidence to our admissions office that a suitable
arrangement has been made for your collection.
INTO University of Exeter has a network of
supportive representatives around the world
to help you make the right decision. Once you
arrive in Exeter you will be cared for by the INTO
student services team, and when you enrol on
your degree programme, the University’s network
of student support services and personal tutors
will continue to support you until graduation.
Supporting your application
Your first point of contact with INTO
University of Exeter is likely to be with one
of INTO’s representatives in your home
country. Our representatives recognise the
importance of the choices you are making and
are well informed about our programmes and
the University. They will gladly answer any
questions and assist you with your application.
INTO customer relations team
Once you have applied to INTO University
of Exeter, our team of experienced customer
relations advisers will ensure that your
application is processed swiftly and that you
receive the documents, you need to obtain your
student visa for entry to the UK.
For further information on our application
processes, please see page 58 of this brochure.
Meet us in your country
INTO has a network of regional offices
throughout the world. Our regional managers
provide additional support and advice, and
regularly attend overseas education exhibitions
and events. Representatives from INTO
University of Exeter also regularly travel
overseas, providing you with more opportunity
to discuss your study plans face-to-face with
staff from the institution.
To find out when someone will be visiting your
country, please visit our website.
This compulsory service also applies when you are
departing from the UK. You will need to provide
student services with your full flight details in
advance of your arrival or departure date.
When should I arrive?
You must arrange to arrive in Exeter on the
weekend before the first day of your course.
You should inform INTO of your date of arrival
and travel arrangements at least two weeks in
advance so we can advise the residential tutors in
University accommodation, or your host family, of
when to expect you.
Our student services team
Based at the Centre, the student services team
are dedicated to supporting you throughout
your studies and offer a range of services for
international students. When you first arrive at
the Centre, they will help you settle in to student
life at Exeter, and will remain your first point of
contact for non-academic issues, ranging from
registering with the doctor and opening a bank
account to renewing your visa. No matter how
large or small your problem may be, there is
always someone available to help.
Orientation programme
On arrival, a comprehensive orientation
programme is provided to introduce you to
studying at the INTO Centre and living in Exeter.
The programme includes a formal academic
induction where you will be registered for your
programme, take an English language placement
test, receive your timetable and, for academic
programmes, select your modules. You will
also be given a tour of the University campus
including the library, the Students’ Guild and
the sports centre, as well as an introduction to
the city centre and its amenities and transport
network. During orientation there are also daily
organised social activities to help you settle into
life at the Centre and meet other students.

Ongoing support
24-hour support
INTO University of Exeter is dedicated to
ensuring that you feel totally safe and supported
at all times. Upon arrival, all students are issued
with an emergency telephone number which can
be used to ask for assistance from INTO staff at
any time, day or night. Within the University
residences, there are also residential tutors
who are responsible for the pastoral care of
students and who provide an additional source
of 24-hour support.
Student attendance monitoring
Good attendance is key to success. INTO
University of Exeter expects all students to
attend all academic sessions. Student attendance
is monitored carefully and where attendance is
not satisfactory, our student progress team will
provide additional support to ensure that you
can succeed in your studies. The Centre has an
additional obligation to report to the UK Border
Agency (UKBA) any changes that may affect
the terms of an international student’s visa,
including an international student’s absence
from the programme.
Students under the age of 18
Before INTO accepts a student under 18, parents
must sign a consent form authorising INTO
staff to act in loco parentis (on behalf of the
parent) in the case of an emergency. Parents are
also required to complete a medical information
form. Relevant forms will be sent to parents and
the student with the confirmation documents.
No student will be accepted at the INTO Centre
unless these forms have been completed, signed
and returned before the start of the course.
INTO recommends that parents appoint a
UK-based guardian for international students
under 18.
If parents are making their own arrangements
for either Guardianship services or a friend or
family member in the UK to act as guardian,
evidence of these arrangements must be
supplied to INTO before the course starts.
Insurance
Uniplan Insurance for international students
To complete the INTO range of student
protection and support services, Uniplan
Insurance is a comprehensive insurance policy
prepared especially for international students in
the UK that covers loss of personal possessions
as well as travel, health and medical claims.
Full travel, health and medical insurance is

AccommodationI think that most students would prefer to live in student accommodation.
Every student has their own bedroom, a kitchen shared with other students and a big and comfortable common room where everybody can
watch TV or meet with their friends. Sometimes we organise international dinners where people from different countries cook their national dishes
and everybody gather together to try all the dishes.ALENA MARkOVA, RUSSIA, GENERAL ENGLISH SUMMER SCHOOL

Terms and conditions 1 of 2 63
Terms and conditions 1 of 2ImportantStudents should ensure they read these terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) very carefully before signing their application for admission. These Terms and Conditions constitute the whole agreement between us for the provision of English language courses and/or academic programmes and any other INTO course which and shall supersede any promises, representations, warranties whether written or oral made by or on behalf of one party to the other.
We reserve the right to vary these Terms and Conditions without your consent at any time prior to entering into a contract with you. In such circumstances, we will provide you with a revised set of Terms and Conditions.
All students agree to be bound by the regulations, policies and procedures of University of Exeter as amended from time to time. These can be found at www.exeter.ac.uk and paper copies are available on request.
Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to liability of students shall also infer liability on the parents or guardian of the student and such liability is joint and several. INTO University of Exeter LLP may assign, transfer, or sub-contract in whole or in part some or all of the benefit and or burden of these Terms and Conditions.
Application, confirmation of acceptance and paymentStudents should complete their application and submit it to INTO University of Exeter Admissions office, admissions@into.uk.com. If the application is accepted, a written offer of a place will be issued. The student’s acceptance of this offer must be accompanied by a deposit, as described in the offer letter, towards tuition fees in advance plus the Uniplan Insurance premium, together with the completed form, or proof of alternative cover. This is when your contract with us is formed. If, after paying your deposit and receiving your Certificate of Acceptance (CAS), you request any changes to the CAS, you will be charged £10.00 each time you request a new CAS. This charge is imposed by the UK Government and is correct at the time of going to press (but may be subject to subsequent variations which are outside of INTO’s control). The amount of the deposit required will be shown in the offer letter. The balance of fees payable must be paid four weeks prior to the course start date (as stated in the offer letter). All course dates are included in this brochure. Any deposits paid are only refundable in the event that a student is unable to meet visa entry requirements, subject to the receipt of an official visa rejection letter (further details of which are set out below).
CancellationIf visa entry requirements have been met, the following charges apply for courses cancelled before the student’s arrival in the UK.
Academic and English for Undergraduate/Postgraduate and Pre-Sessional English programmes
Four weeks or more before commencement: •cancellation fee of £500;Less than four weeks before commencement: •cancellation fee of £1000.
Cancellations must be made in writing and will become valid on the day the written notice is received by INTO University of Exeter LLP. Cancellation fees shall be invoiced to the student and payment shall be due within 30 days of the date of such invoice.
Cancellation of a course includes cancellation of Uniplan Insurance. Refunds will be made for the unelapsed period of cover minus a £25 administration charge.
Visa refusalIf you wish to cancel or defer your course due to visa refusal, you will not incur any cancellation charges, always providing that you inform us in writing and send us evidence of the visa refusal as early as possible. Such notification and evidence must, in any event, arrive at the INTO Admissions office in the UK no later than four weeks (one week for General English courses) after your proposed course start date. Failure to do this will result in normal cancellation charges applying (as set out above) and no fees will be refunded.
Conditions of offer are not metIf you wish to cancel your course due to not meeting the conditions of your offer, you will not incur any cancellation charges, always providing that you inform us in writing and send us evidence that the conditions have not been met as early as possible. This information must arrive at the INTO Admissions office in the UK no later than four weeks before your course start date or the day after your exam results are published (if this falls after the 4 week cut off point). Failure to do this will result in normal cancellation charges applying (as set out above) and no fees will be refunded.
DeferralsYou may defer the start of your course, on the grounds that you have been prevented by external events from starting your course, up to a maximum of two times. An external event shall include, without limitation, serious illness or injury of you or of a close member of your family. You must ensure that your request to defer, with a full explanation of your reason for the request, is presented in writing and reaches the INTO Admissions office in the UK at least four weeks before your course start date. This should also include details of your preferred new start date for your course. If your request arrives after this date, normal cancellation charges will apply (see the ‘Cancellations’ section above).
All deferrals are subject to the availability of your chosen new course start date at the time we receive your request to defer. All deferral requests will be considered by the INTO Admissions office on a case-by-case basis and acceptance of a deferral request will be at the INTO Admissions office’s sole discretion. On the basis that a new CAS will need to be issued if your request to defer is successful, you will be charged a fee of £10 in respect of the new CAS. This charge is as set out under the paragraph headed “Application, confirmation of acceptance and payment” above. Please note that your accommodation will need to be re-booked and will be subject to availability.
If your reason for deferral is due to visa refusal, the provisions set out under “Visa refusal” above shall apply.
Tuition feesAll tuition fees and insurance fees (if applicable) must be paid in full in pounds sterling by cheque, banker’s draft, bank transfer or credit or debit card four weeks prior to the start date of the course. Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 2%. There is a £1 surcharge for payment via debit card).

Fees discount for timely paymentIf you pay full fees (tuition plus accommodation, if required) for a total of at least three terms of study on specified courses by the due date of four weeks before the first course start date, you will receive a discount of £500 on the total amount due. This will be shown on the invoice that is sent to you.

Airport transfer fees must be paid for at the time of booking.
Airport pick-ups are compulsory for students under 18, unless parents provide INTO University of Exeter with evidence that they have made alternative arrangements for the collection of their child from the UK entry airport. A similar compulsory delivery of students under 18 to their departure airport applies.
Travel to INTO University of ExeterINTO will expect students to assist us with our Green Travel Plan, as may be reasonably required. To this extent, students may not bring cars onto campus (or with a one mile radius of campus) unless otherwise agreed in advance by INTO.

Academic criteriaStudents are accepted onto the programme on the strict understanding that progression through the course and successful completion of the course are conditional upon satisfactory attendance and successful attainment of specified progression grades.

coursework;•internal centre examination results.•
Students who do not meet the attainment criteria for successful completion will not be allowed to proceed with their original course.

In some cases, an alternative study plan may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees.
English language admissions criteriaStudents are accepted in good faith onto both English language and academic programmes on the basis of the certification they provide to meet the admissions criteria. If, however, the results from the tests and assessment procedures on arrival provide clear evidence that a student’s actual level of English language proficiency is significantly lower than claimed and lower than that required for their designated programme, then the student will be formally advised of the results and of their options. In these cases, students will not be allowed to proceed with their original course, but will be advised as to the best alternatives. In some cases, an alternative study plan may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees.

If, due to late arrival, a new CAS has to be issued, there will be a £10 charge for the issuing of the new CAS.
This charge is imposed by the UK Government and is correct at the time of going to press (but may be subject to subsequent variations which are outside of INTO’s control).
