Plymouth College of Art students on Whatuni say:

“I would recommend this uni to anyone. I have never loved education so much, and really have a family on the course. My friend goes to a prestigious art college and hasn't had such a high level of education or opportunities as I have.”

“Without attending PCA I would not be where I am today. I owe a lot to the lecturers and the opportunities that studying at PCA offered me. One thing I would say no matter where you attend, make sure that not only the location is right, but what the university can offer you in regards to support, equipment and opportunities as this will really determine the outcome. PCA can definitely offer all of the above.”

“I really love my uni, I don't think I could have found somewhere better for me. I've been given so many incredible opportunities since I got here and my work has improved massively.”
