What students say about police-services

Best part was deffinately the student life event throughout the year, the general staff, making me feel at home and having genuinly good event that are interesting, other then that, the teachers, the accommodation and everything else was really nice. One bad thing that i'd want to mention was, the difficulty of studies, even tho it was first year, coming from a strict system like A levels to an easy going slow burn education system was weird, and the tests were loosely checked for cheating or anything like that, made it really hard to genuinly study and take it seriously enough to the point i was expecting from uni. Still, thats just a culture shock going from a levels to uni first year. All and all, the full experience was so good that, the worst thing was "it wasn't hard enough"

What students say about police-services

I attend UOG Francis Close Hall campus and it's so incredibly inspiring. It's a great oldy-worldy historical site and it was really the deal-breaker for me choosing UOG; although my course mates and I were severely let down when we were told we would have to move to Oxstalls campus in Gloucester... we managed to get the union involved but only managed to get it pushed back a year for us, all new students in September for social science will be in Oxstalls and won't get to experience the beauty of FCH. Such a shame. Despite this, the facilities are amazing, staff are equipped with great knowledge and are all incredibly friendly. All students are friendly and light-minded, it's a great environment to study in and socialise. I commute so I cannot speak on the social side of student accommodation and/or going out, but as a commuter it meets all my needs! I really recommend studying here, the lecturers know what they're talking about, and are amazing at illustrating theories and concepts in ways that make sense.

What students say about police-services

As an international Environmental Management student, my time at Plymouth has been defined by two things: academic freedom and incredible support. When I faced significant personal loss and financial struggles that impacted my attendance, the faculty didn't write me off they gave me the flexibility to recover and succeed. The course itself is far more than just exams. I was able to lead complex, consultancy-style projects (like my work on Singapore Heat Stress policies) that felt like real professional work, not just coursework. The resources in the Marine Building and library are top-tier for anyone willing to push themselves. Plymouth offers a rare balance: it challenges you intellectually to reach distinction levels, but supports you personally when life gets hard. Highly recommended for students who want resilience alongside their degree.
