Studying at the University of Plymouth has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The academic support is exceptional—lecturers are not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. The campus is beautifully located, just a short walk from the sea, which makes it an inspiring place to study, especially for marine and environmental courses. There’s a strong sense of community here. I’ve met lifelong friends and had incredible opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. The university offers fantastic hands-on learning, from fieldwork to real-world projects, and there’s a big push on sustainability and global impact, which makes you feel like you’re part of something meaningful. Support services, from mental health to career advice, are always available and approachable. Whether you're into research, activism, art, science, or student life, Plymouth has a place for you. If you’re looking for a university that balances a

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.
