Verified against official sources · last checked September 2026 · see sources

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 — a figure we re-read at source on 9 September 2026, when the page's fee block was still headed 'Fees 2026/27 entry' even though the page itself now announces that it is for 2027 entry. Read that as Exeter not having published a 2027/28 rate yet rather than as a frozen fee: budget for a rise the school has not yet named. The optional two-year 'with Industrial Experience' route adds a reduced second-year placement fee on top — £6,200 international and £3,720 UK, both re-confirmed at source on the same date. As a Russell Group, triple-accredited British master's, the international sticker price sits below London-based names like LBS or Imperial while still coming from a research-intensive university — see where it lands in how much a MiM in Europe costs and the best-value MiM shortlist. 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.

Tuition for the University of Exeter Master in Management is £31,000 for international students / £18,600 for UK students (2026/27 entry) — a nine- or twelve-month full-time MSc at a Russell Group, triple-accredited business school, with an optional two-year 'with Industrial Experience' placement route for the 9 or 12 months full-time, September intake; optional 2-year 'with Industrial Experience' placement variant program.

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.

URL CORRECTED AND FIGURES REPRODUCED 2026-09-09. Two things settled by that re-read. (1) THE URL HAD MOVED: /study/postgraduate/courses/business/management/ now returns a 301 to /masters-degrees/msc-management/, and this profile's website link and both source URLs were still on the old path — a redirect a reader would have followed silently and a canonical link the site was not publishing. (2) THE PAGE WAS NEVER UNREADABLE: it was on the site's client-side-rendering blocklist, and a plain curl --compressed with a browser user agent returns HTTP 200 and ~46 KB of readable text at the new path. Every figure above reproduced exactly on it — 'UK fees per year: 18,600 full-time', 'International fees per year: £ 31,000 full-time', 'With Industrial Experience (second year): £3,720 full-time' and '£6,200 full-time', all under the heading 'Fees 2026/27 entry'; 'A 2:1 with honours or equivalent in any discipline'; 'The required IELTS test scores for this course fall under Profile B1'. ONE INTERNAL CONTRADICTION ON EXETER'S OWN PAGE, recorded rather than resolved: the page now opens 'Please note: This page is for 2027 entry. Click here for 2026 entry', while its own summary block still reads 'Entry year 2026', its fee block is headed 'Fees 2026/27 entry', and its apply widget offers 'Apply for Jan 2026 entry' and 'Apply for Sept 2026 entry'. So the fees quoted here are the ones Exeter labels 2026/27 and are NOT restated as 2027/28 figures; a 2027-entry applicant should expect a rise Exeter has not yet published. The January entry point is likewise recorded as something the apply widget offers for 2026 and not asserted for the current cycle ↗ — University of Exeter
