Which university did J.K. Rowling attend after studying at Wyedean School and College?

J.K. Rowling attended the University of Exeter after studying at Wyedean School and College. She graduated from Exeter in 1987 with a degree in French and Classics.

During her university course, Rowling spent part of her studies in Paris. Her knowledge of French later became relevant to her life and work, although the Harry Potter novels were written in English. After graduating, she worked in a variety of roles, including jobs connected with research and bilingual administration.

Rowling’s university education is sometimes confused with her later residence in Edinburgh, where she wrote much of the early Harry Potter series. Edinburgh is closely associated with her writing career, but it was not the university she attended. She also studied at the University of Exeter before the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1997.
