Love the area right on the seafront and in town but i think it’s always better to have more space for unscheduled work sessions either physical or on computer

Fine Art - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

I love the uni but its opening hours need to be extended. I don’t have nearly enough time during the the times it’s open to try and attend lectures, use printers, do research, and that’s without even allowing any time to make actual work. I think open until 10pm and sat and sun studio accessibility even if the library and everything else is shut would really help

Illustration - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Great access to resources and a welcoming atmosphere, everyone is really lovely. There are workshop to expand your knowledge. The student union doesn’t have the same array of events at bigger universities. It would also be great if there was access to adobe outside of the university, as we can only use it on their Wi-Fi which can be an issue with making deadlines.

Everyone is welcoming and lovely! The environment is great and the studios and workshops are all excellent and there’s always a good atmosphere. I would say the SU doesn’t always have events for everyone and it’s not as big as the main Plymouth uni but it’s a good vibe!
