Being so close to the sea allows for a great student life balance. To improve more support for individual courses would be appreciated and lecturers can be so overworked they struggle to help support problems.

The library is extremely helpful with good resources. We are so close to the city centre with easy access to transport. Everyone is very nice, could do with some more one on one support from teachers

The facilities are great and the teaching of even the hardest subjects have been well taught making it easy to understand. It would be nice to have had more insight/support from transferring from a partnership college as there are things I would have not found out had I not known someone who has already done the course such as getting my calculator approved sticker for exams ect.

Studying engineering at Plymouth is amazing in the brand new engineering block. There’s great access to load of composites and additive manufacturing equipment. Also some great opportunities for sailing in Plymouth in your spare time. However Plymouth isn’t the best city to go to uni in.
