In 1855, it became a School of Art and in 1863, a School of Science. With support from the University of Cambridge, the college became in 1893 the Exeter Technical and University Extension College. In 1900 its title was changed to the Royal Albert Memorial College. Then in 1922 it was established as the University College of the South West of England.
