Get to know Plymouth and our students
Plymouth is a small coastal city in the UK's South West. Its size means it has all the benefits of a smaller place, including a compact central area with accommodation, shops and entertainment facilities all within easy walking distance. Plymouth is surrounded by beautiful countryside and sandy beaches, making it easy to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
Our friendly student advisors and staff are ready to welcome you to our international community from the day you arrive. You can also chat with current students before you arrive through Unibuddy or find out about the societies you can join at the Students' Union to meet new friends.
