How to get here

Travel by air, rail and bus

Exeter International Airport is located approximately 6 miles from the University of Exeter, Streatham Campus. There is a regular shuttle bus service to Exeter Bus Station. Alternatively taxis can be taken directly to the University campus.

The Bus Station in Exeter is located on Paris Street, approximately 1 mile from the Streatham Campus. There is a local bus service (D Bus) that runs from the High Street (a short walk from the Bus Station) to the Streatham Campus every 30 minutes.

The railway station closest to the Streatham Campus is Exeter St David's. This is served by main line routes. There is no direct bus route from St David's to the campus, but there is a taxi rank outside the station. Taxis to the University will cost approximately £5.00.

The station is approximately ¾ mile from the Streatham Campus (15 minute walk). Come out of the station and walk to the main road, cross at the pelican crossing and turn left and then immediately right along a narrow path (Clements Lane), signposted as the pedestrian route to the city centre. At the top of the hill, cross the road and walk up Howell Road. Turn left on to New North Road, and finally turn right on to Prince of Wales Road and the University Campus.
