Which university did J.K. Rowling attend from 1983?

J.K. Rowling attended the University of Exeter from 1983.

She studied French and Classics at Exeter and graduated in 1987. Her course included a year in Paris, and her knowledge of languages later became part of her professional background before she became a full-time novelist. The university experience also contributed to the broader education-related context surrounding her writing.

Rowling is sometimes incorrectly associated with Oxford or Cambridge because Hogwarts is an elite boarding school and because many British writers attended those universities. However, her university was Exeter. She later received honorary recognition from Exeter, but that is separate from her original undergraduate degree.
