The University of Exeter charges £31,000 for international students and £18,600 for UK (home) students for the MSc Management in 2026/27, per its own course page — with the optional two-year 'with Industrial Experience' route adding a reduced second-year placement fee (about £6,200 international / £3,720 UK). As a Russell Group, triple-accredited British master's, the international sticker price sits below London-based names like [LBS](/programs/london-business-school) or [Imperial](/programs/imperial-college-business-school) while still coming from a research-intensive university — see where it lands in [how much a MiM in Europe costs](/blog/how-much-does-a-mim-cost-in-europe) and the [best-value MiM shortlist](/best-value-mim-in-europe). Exeter is in South-West England, so living costs run well below London — budget realistically against the UK student-visa maintenance figure (about £1,023 a month outside London for 2025, which the Home Office sets and updates), and confirm the current fee and any Exeter Business School scholarships on Exeter's own pages.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Exeter MSc Management cost?
For 2026/27 entry, the University of Exeter charges £31,000 for international students and £18,600 for UK (home) students for the MSc Management, as stated on its own course page. If you take the optional two-year 'with Industrial Experience' route, the placement second year adds a reduced fee — about £6,200 for international students and £3,720 for UK students. The international sticker price sits below London-based British master's such as London Business School or Imperial while still coming from a Russell Group, triple-accredited school. Exeter is in South-West England, so living costs are lower than in London — a useful reference point is the UK student-visa maintenance figure the Home Office sets (about £1,023 a month outside London for 2025). Budget for those living costs on top of tuition, and check Exeter Business School's pages for any scholarships or fee discounts, which change each cycle.
Is the University of Exeter Business School accredited and well regarded?
Yes. The University of Exeter Business School holds 'triple-crown' accreditation — AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS — the three international benchmarks that fewer than 1% of business schools worldwide hold together, and it sits within the University of Exeter, a member of the Russell Group of the UK's 24 leading research-intensive universities. That combination — a research-intensive Russell Group university and a triple-accredited business school — is what most distinguishes Exeter from the other triple-crown UK schools that are not Russell Group members, such as Aston or Loughborough. We do not quote a specific Financial Times or QS position for this individual MSc here — programme rankings move each year and not every UK master's is listed — so judge it on its accreditations, its Russell Group standing, the curriculum and fit rather than a single ranking number, and check the current tables on Exeter's own page.
What is the 'with Industrial Experience' route, and where do Exeter MSc Management graduates work?
Alongside the standard 9- or 12-month programme, Exeter offers an optional two-year 'MSc Management with Industrial Experience' route that adds a 60-credit Business School Industrial Experience placement — a full block of work experience integrated into the degree at a reduced second-year fee. That directly addresses the usual weakness of a pre-experience master's: the thin work history it can leave you with. On outcomes, Exeter lists graduate employers including Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Accenture and EY among the professional-services firms, plus corporates such as Nike, Mercedes-Benz and UBS. Exeter does not publish a Financial-Times-style weighted-salary figure for this specific MSc, so we do not invent one — for what UK MiM graduates typically earn and where they land, see our UK MiM career-outcomes analysis, and confirm current figures with Exeter's own careers service.
Where is Exeter, and is the MSc Management taught in English?
The University of Exeter's Streatham Campus is in the city of Exeter in South-West England — a compact, green campus city well connected by rail to London (roughly two to two-and-a-half hours) and close to the Devon coast. The MSc Management is taught entirely in English, so you do not need any other language to complete it, and the main intake is in September. As a regional university city rather than the capital, Exeter typically means lower living costs than London-based UK master's — a genuine consideration when you weigh the total cost of a one-year British MiM against Continental options, especially if you add the optional placement year.
