CAREERS

I have always had a strong and successful

relationship with the University of Exeter Business School. As a graduate employer recruiting within Cornwall, the opportunity to now engage and find strong talent in this region through partnership with the Business School at the Penryn Campus really excites me. As our business continues to grow the knowledge that Cornwall will have an even bigger talent pool of business graduates in the next few years can only be a positive for us and other graduate recruiters in this area and can have a real positive knock-on effect within the local community helping to create even more opportunities.Martyn Flynn, Talent Acquisition Manager, Enterprise Rent-a-Car

The BSc Business programme on the

University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus is unique from any other Business degree in the market, it allows students to gain a more practical approach to business, undertaking various placements as part of the three year degree programme.

As a placement student I experienced first-hand the benefits and opportunities working in industry creates and would have been very interested to study the BSc Business degree if it had been available to me. The Penryn Campus, Cornwall is an inviting and relaxing place to be in and you are surrounded by beautiful scenery, creating a great atmosphere for studying.Jess Barber, BA Business and Management with Marketing with Industrial Experience (2015)

The University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus is made up of around 4,000 students offering a fantastic student lifestyle in a safe and friendly environment, with plenty of opportunities for sporting and outdoor activities. The Campus is a few minutes’ walk from Penryn, home to a rapidly expanding collection of independent cafes, shops, galleries and restaurants, as well as Jubilee Wharf, one of the country’s leading zero-carbon buildings.The vibrant town of Falmouth is a 10-minute train journey from Penryn’s railway station. Thanks in part to the number of students in the area, with a wealth of bars, pubs and restaurants and a lively café culture. It’s the centre of

Cornwall’s creative scene, with businesses, studios, shops and galleries, and great live music across the town. Falmouth’s seven beaches, beautiful rivers and the world-famous marina also make it a haven for those who love sand, sailing and surf.Cornwall has created a strong, sustainable economy, with a diverse mix of industries and internationally renowned strengths in the environmental, marine, aerospace, Information Communications Technology (ICT), creative and food and drink sectors.Business School students have exclusive access to the new Insyght Lab and the Cornwall Collaboratory, and opportunities throughout the programme to engage directly with businesses using leading edge video conferencing technology, together with web-based collaboration tools.

WHY STUDY IN CORNWALL?

Penryn Campus is unlike any

other places I have been to. Although it may be away from a busy city it gives me the opportunity to take a step back into a peaceful yet energetic environment so I can focus on what’s important to me. The unique partnership with Falmouth University also allows me to forge lasting friendships with students from different interests and backgrounds. A closely-knitted community both in and out of the campus, definitely the place to be. Yu Chuan Tan, Current international student

When I first came to look around on an open day, the helpful, smiling students, along with some amazing facilities, were the things that convinced me that this was where I wanted to be. The atmosphere on Campus and in Falmouth is the same; everyone is relaxed and there is a really strong sense of community.

I have loved living and studying in Cornwall. I’ve met incredible people, visited beautiful places, and have had the chance to spend my university experience learning on a really unique campus.
