Amazing location but the uni is the worst. They force you to do ridiculous and pointless modules that everyone fails cus they don't make any sense..

Absolutely loved my time here studying for a BA Hons English. Wonderful cohort and great tutors. The range of modules was stimulating and surprising. Opportunities for personal development were really good. Can`t rate my experience highly enough. 6 stars out of 5.

"Expect the Unexpected" Very bad experience studying here. (Studied Robotics Engineering) Lecturers(few) being unfair, being equal and being hateful. I had raised a complaint to the complaints office addressing the issue that I had faced regarding my results(which is against the university examination policy). Its been more than 3 months after the complaint had been placed and I haven't heard back from them(except the first acknowledgment email) and which is also against the university policy. They aren't replying to my emails at the same time. This shows the nature of the complaint and the university who are not ready to show equality. I'll be taking this issue to a very next level. I wouldn't recommend anybody to join this university unless you want to face similar issues. WARNING "It's not just me who have faced this kind of issues." Indeed PLYMOUTH is a very nice place filled with tradition, culture and nice people

Now in my second year here studying Digital Art and Technology. I have my lectures in Roland Levinky so our lessons are always in nice and modern rooms. I really like how the university library is open 24 hours a day, plus there is always areas for quiet study. The university also offers some amazing opportunities for hobbies and sports which an incredible range of society's and groups. I currently run the photography society with my girlfriend and it's even more exciting running it. Going to uni is certainly a life changing experience and I'm glad I chose Plymouth for my journey.
