Alumni network spotlight
After graduating from the University of Exeter, we continue to share the Exeter experience with you beyond your university years.
Our range of alumni networks help our alumni connect with others in their area or with those who share similar interests, as well as supporting students and alumni to network professionally.
Our choice of networks includes international alumni communities which span the globe, and interest-focused groups, like sport and academia, and provides moments to reconnect or make new connections with those who have Exeter in common.
From joining EXODUS (the University of Exeter alumni choir) to keeping in touch with the Students’ Guild in Exeter or the Students’ Union in Cornwall, we’ve got a range of opportunities to meet the interests of our diverse alumni community.
In this spotlight article we’ll delve into three of our networks: Exetra (the recent alumni group), the Law Alumni Network and the Exeter China Alumni Association (ECAA).
Exetra
Created in 2009, Exetra (the group for recent alumni) organises professional networking and social events for alumni in the London area who graduated in the last ten years. Run by a committee of alumni volunteers, Exetra enables graduates to meet fellow alumni, allowing them to expand their personal and professional networks.
The group has now held more than 30 events which more than 700 individual alumni have attended. Recent events have included picnics in London, Christmas quizzes and social networking events at the Institute of Directors.
Forthcoming Exetra events are listed on the alumni events page:

Law Alumni Network
The Law Alumni Network brings together more than 12,000 graduates from 120 countries, forming a dynamic global community of legal professionals. This vibrant network reflects the Law School’s long tradition of academic excellence and professional achievement.
The Law Alumni Network exists to strengthen connections between graduates, the Law School, and the wider University community, fostering a strong sense of lifelong belonging and collaboration. Through active engagement, it provides a platform for alumni to remain connected to Exeter, share expertise and contribute to the continued success of future graduates. The network plays a vital role in supporting student and alumni success through curriculum enrichment, employability initiatives and global networking opportunities.
Beyond supporting students, the Law Alumni Network celebrates the achievements of its members and helps to build long-term partnerships. United by a shared connection to Exeter, Law alumni form a global community that continues to inspire, collaborate and give back. The network provides a platform for professional growth and long-term success.

Exeter China Alumni Association (ECAA)
The Exeter China Alumni Association (ECAA) connects University of Exeter graduates living and working across Mainland China. With a vibrant community of more than 13,000 alumni, the mission of the group is to keep the Exeter spirit alive beyond our campuses by supporting professional development and employability, as well as creating meaningful connections between alumni and current students.
The ECAA host a range of events, including networking gatherings in multiple cities and industry talks featuring alumni leaders. Each event offers a welcoming space for alumni to share experiences, exchange ideas and strengthen ties within the ever-growing Exeter community in China.
A big milestone in 2025 was the launch of the ECAA WeChat Mini Program, a brand-new digital hub designed to make staying connected easier than ever. Through the platform, members can register for events, access the latest news and resources, unlock exclusive alumni perks, log their volunteering and connect directly with fellow graduates.
The ECAA are always on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers to help shape the future of the network. The ECAA can be found on the social media channels below where potential members can find out more:

We also have a vibrant alumni chapter in Hong Kong – the Exeter Hong Kong Alumni Group (EHKAG). The group, led by volunteers, brings together graduates living and working across the region, offering plenty of chances to reconnect through social meet ups and professional events. It’s a warm, supportive community where alumni can grow their networks and keep the Exeter spirit alive in Hong Kong. You can find out more about the group and how to get involved on our website:
