University of Plymouth

Incredible! New friends, love my course, my town and my campus! Couldn't of hoped for better :)

I have loved my university experi nice, it has been amazing and I will never forget it. It has built me as a person in many different ways but it has also been very very difficult and there have been times when I have really struggled! My course is great and challenging

I began my nursing journey at the university of plymouth in 2021. The university of plymouth is an amazing university with state of the art facilities for nursing. The city is booming and you can gain such an amazing network of friends and social life. There are many things to do around the city. I never regret studying nursing at the university of plymouth. The lecturers are so supportive too.

Plymouth University is always a happy place to be. Everyone here is super friendly and always willing to provide help when needed. The facilities on campus are outstanding and I thoroughly enjoy my course. Each day is different but I'm always interested in what I learn.

It was great. Course was great and Plymouth is lovely. The staff are nice too

Lecturers are very enthusiastic when it comes to providing extra support to students, anytime when they are available. You can leave them personal emails if you want to remain anonym, or you can ask your query on a discussion board so other students would be able to see it. The laximum time they take before replying to any query is 24 hrs.
Night life is amazing. The university is located right in the city centre, so students live around the city centre which is good thing as the furthest nightclub is located at 20 min walk from the university. There are different type of nightclubs, closing times vary from 4am to 6am, it all depends on what type of student you are. The library was recently renovated and it is amazing, open 24/7 with a cafe available

I was fantastic! I'm in my third year now and first year freshers I attended as many events as possible. I met so many wonderful people and had so much fun!!! The halls I stayed in for the first two years were really accommodating and lovely! Close to the hoe and town! I loved it that much I stayed there 2 years! I'm my last year (now) I'm currently in a cosy student house with all my friends in the city centre, absolutely love it!! The library is really well stocked and has all the resources you really need. The classrooms are really big and we are based in one of the newer builds which is nice! The student union is so fun and cheap, always have a good time whether it's a planned event or just a normal night out! The course is really well developed. You have a series of lectures and seminars. The lectures are an introduction to the learning and the seminars are in smaller groups so you really get all the detail information and support. I'm really enjoying the city life in Plymouth. It's such a small city so everything is close together and most things are accessible by walking which is fab. You hardly have to use transport at all!

The lecturers are very helpful and knowledgable and are always available if you have any difficulties on the course or even personally. The campus is amazing and I spend some of my time alongside other healthcare professionals learning about what they do. There is plenty of opportunity to develop as a professional with CPD events, societies, being involved with the university or creating your own your students! If I could change anything it would be that I was either closer to main campus or working closer to the hospital so that there are more opportunities as a professional rather than on Marion campus!

The skills simulation the university offers has been incredibly useful for practicing clinical skills before going into placement which really helps you build confidence and develop your communications skills. The lecturers are always supportive and kind, which makes this course so much more enjoyable.

I have always liked that Plymouth University is next to the town centre and also by the sea. It is a really affordable place to live in both university halls and in student accommodation, meaning I have more money to spend on socialising and food shops.
Everything is in walking distance, including the train and bus stations, meaning you don’t need to bring a car down unless you are on placement like me. In summer you can go down to the sea front and go swimming, and the Barbican has some really nice places to eat. It is a lovely place to study and live, and I’ve always felt safe here. More importantly there’s some good clubs with chip vans right outside.
