Built Environment postgraduate degrees in Plymouth

The location is fantastic. Plymouth is a beautiful city with decent nightlife and you can easily get on a train or a cheap bus and travel in any direction and enjoy the most beautiful coast and countryside. The main campus is nice, albeit mostly grey concrete with some ugly modern art thrown in. There isn't as much greenery as other universities and some of the facilities aren't great but the good ones are really modern, really colourful and very comfortable. The lecturers are nice people and some of their classes are really interesting and involving. The Student Union organises all sorts of events celebrating different cultures and in the bar there are drinks for a reasonable price, themed discos and a pub quiz every Sunday, all very enjoyable. There are lots of sports clubs and different societies to join and they're generally very welcoming.

The facilities are incredible, the opportunity to try things that you’ve had no access to before is a real plus for me. I find the whole atmosphere to be supportive and encouraging. In my course the only thing that dips the experience is the software tuition which is erratic and could be improved. Personally it doesn’t affect my experience as I’m not here for that and in all it’s a great experience.
