I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Plumpton College. The university experience here is definitely unique and one to consider if you are looking at studying an animal-based degree. The class sizes are relatively small, making staff and student interaction extremely focused and personal. Teaching staff are extremely friendly and definitely play a role in making the uni experience as positive and stress-free as possible. The modules in both of the animal degrees are extremely useful for application across a series of job roles also. Because the scale of degree students - college students is extremely uneven, the facilities solely available to university students are limited but I am aware that the staff are working hard to make plans to change this.

Lectures are delivered in person using a range of active task-based learning and more passive lecturer-led sessions. This is great because all students learn best in different ways, making the course more inclusive. We only have lectures two days a week, providing us with a further three days to complete coursework of our own accord. Lecturers work extremely hard to ensure that they are contactable within their work hours, replying extremely quickly to questions and queries, also providing extensive support when required.
