As a third-year student midwife at the University of Plymouth, I’ve had a largely positive experience throughout my time here. The campus is well-equipped, and while I haven’t had much time to engage with clubs, societies, or SU activities due to the demands of my degree, it’s clear there are plenty of opportunities for students to get involved. The careers service has been helpful and responsive, offering relevant support as I prepare for life after graduation. Internet access has generally been reliable and sufficient for my study needs. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience, with good support available—even if my course has limited my ability to take full advantage of everything on offer. I do think hot water should be free to students, though! And a wider availability of water fountains/fill-ups and cutlery as it is often quite a walk to source these.
Its a great place to study, beautiful beach city and so many clubs to choose from.
University of Plymouth is in a lovely location, close to the sea! There is always something to do after lectures
lovely experience so far in first year!

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.
