Great environment for students.
Great support systems for international students.
The university has a wide range of support services to help the students, ranging from career to mental wellbeing, and there are so many social events that help students try out new activities and experience a fun university life.
Su can be a little incompetent when dealing with societies however they put on great events. The open mic jam house is a particularly good time.
It's rather basic. The dissertation supervisor I got was a joke and it's a miracle if I don't fail as a result of that.
My experience as a student at the uni was decent. I haven’t had any issues getting around or finding classes. The staff for my course are lovely, and the different events throughout the week are always something to look forward to.
Plymouth is great for marine biology
Especially with its student-centered approach and campus close to the city center, the learning experience is highly accessible and takes place in a supportive environment.
