World ranking (2026)QS #155 · THE #170 · Guardian #17
Int'l tuition£24,900/yr
Acceptance rateNot reported

Tuition (2026/27 entry) is banded by subject group: Business & Economics £24,900 (lowest, used as the reported figure); Humanities & Social Sciences £24,950; Flexible Combined Honours £25,750; Sport & Health Sciences £29,900; Quantitative Sciences £30,100; Life Sciences £31,200; STEM & Engineering £31,200; Medicine (BMBS) £48,900. Student size (29,777, 2025/6: 23,725 undergraduate, 4,261 postgraduate-taught, 1,791 postgraduate-research) is from Exeter's own official facts page, which also confirms Russell Group status. Exeter's own official rankings page had already rolled over to QS/THE 2027 by the research date (136 global / UK 21 for QS) -- the 2026-edition QS figure (155 global / UK 23) instead came from Exeter's own news article dated 19 June 2025, since QS's own rankings site couldn't be opened directly. THE rank 170th (joint, UK 22nd, 2026) and Guardian rank 17th (2026) both matched between Exeter's own rankings page and timeshighereducation.com directly, with no edition-rollover discrepancy for those two. No official acceptance rate published.

A*AA including Chemistry and Biology (A-level)

2027 entryUCAS · Apply by Oct 15

Exeter Medical School's own BMBS Medicine page and its published 2026 admissions policy (both searched directly) confirm the UCAT is required for direct school-leaver applicants (GAMSAT for non-direct-school-leaver applicants instead), and that applicants are ranked by a combined 'Exeter score' weighting UCAT and academic qualifications -- but name no SAT, ACT, or AP figure anywhere. This is a genuine gap distinct from the existing Exeter Economics entry (which does have a real published A-level-to-SAT/ACT equivalency table), confirming Medicine runs its own, separate admissions process. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.
