At the University of Plymouth, we are proud to be one of only a select number of UK universities to achieve triple gold – gold overall and gold for both underpinning aspects: student experience and student outcomes (Teaching Excellence Framework, 2023). Set in the middle of beautiful countryside and stunning sandy beaches, we also have a unique and special location to match your award-winning education. The city has been found to be 51% cheaper than London in terms of day-to-day living costs (livingcost.org), which means our students can make the most of their student experience and the opportunities university offers. At the University of Plymouth, it doesn’t matter where you’re from but what’s important is where you want to go – for us, it is all about making your journey personal. We are welcoming and inclusive, and proud to be members of our unique community where every individual counts.

About the University of Plymouth

We have over 150 postgraduate taught and research programmes available. You can take your studies and passion for your subject to the next level and enhance your employability.

Conversion courses are a fantastic opportunity if you’re looking for a way to start a new career. These courses allow you to study something completely different to that which you pursued in your undergraduate.

Having opened £100 million of new facilities in the 2023/24 academic year, the University continues to ensure you have the best learning environments and collaborative spaces. You’ll develop hands-on learning through a mix of real-world and simulated course facilities, enabling you to graduate with experience. Newly-established, InterCity Place houses our health professions, nursing and midwifery, and for STEAM subjects, Babbage is where engineering and design come together.

Alongside the valuable experience gained at Law Clinics on campus, Law students benefit from practising their courtroom skills in the new moot court Foulston Room in the historic surroundings of Plymouth’s museum, The Box. Criminology and Policing students understand real life investigations in the University’s Crime Suite, housing simulated crime scenes, forensics and interviews. These facilities will be joined by a sustainably renovated Fitzroy Building, at a cost of £14.5 million, as the new home for Plymouth Business School. Students will benefit from an upgraded Bloomberg Interactive Suite, Maritime Suite and Language Lab.
