**Plymouth College of Art has been granted full university status and formally recognised with the new title of Arts University Plymouth, following approval by the Privy Council. This makes us the City of Plymouth’s first specialist arts university.**The title of Arts University Plymouth signifies a change to the way that the world will see us, our position within the sector and the mobility of our graduates; but not a change in the way that we see ourselves or what we do.

The name Arts University Plymouth will appear on our qualifications, making it easier for employers and peers to recognise that our students were taught at a leading specialist arts university.In May 2022 we were awarded the **Best Small or Specialist University at the 2022 WhatUni Student Choice Awards**, coming top in a list of well-respected specialist UK universities, based on unbiased and honest reviews from students across the UK, in a category that highlights the quality of our provision as a specialist creative university.**Our Extended Degrees offer a dynamic and supportive environment in which you will be encouraged to explore and develop core skills and competencies as a creative practitioner.**- Identify your personal practice through access to college-wide facilities. - Learn in the unique environment and study experience of a specialist art college, characterised by creativity, experimentation and imagination.- Successful completion of the first year guarantees you a place on one of our full undergraduate programmes.If you want to pursue a specialist creative undergraduate degree but feel you have yet to acquire the experience or typical entry requirements, our Extended Degrees will help focus and refine your creative interests through applied practice, and facilitate your future learning journey.This programme provides you with an intensive interdisciplinary year of experimental and investigative approaches to developing your learning in preparation for your entry to year one of our BA (Hons) undergraduate programmes.

Although many of our students do come in with top grades and high UCAS points, these aren’t necessarily essential for entry. We typically ask for a minimum of 104 UCAS points, but we understand that talented artists, designers and makers can have a wide range of relevant strengths and skills beyond formal qualifications. We’re just as interested in exploring your portfolio as we are in seeing your grades.
