Plymouth University

...page) The University of Plymouth is the largest university in the South West with over 30,000 students currently enrolled and based on student population, is the UK's 4th biggest university behind London and Manchester's universities. There are nearly 3,000 staff employed at the university and its annual income is in the range of 110 million pounds. It has developed enormously within the past 15 years thanks to great enthusiasm behind the scenes. ...
...I haven't looked back once! Plymouth University is quite renowned for civil engineering, especially civil and coastal engineering due to its location. As you can imagine, the nightlife in a university town is brilliant! Every pub/club/bar in the area wants to take advantage of us students and we let them! Each venue has its special nights where they offer their best deals for example, Cuba has pound a pint on Mondays, the roundabout pound a pint ...

Review of Plymouth University

...on the main campus in Plymouth City Centre. Since arriving in Plymouth 18 months ago, I have had the time of my life. I think that the university itself is working very hard to shrug off its 'old poly' image and develop into a uni of the 21st century. The facilities aren't bad; the campus itself is fairly compact but expanding rapidly. On the main campus you will find most of what you need; Student's Union (bar, shop, beer 'garden', canteen e.t.c.), ...
...academic life? The nightlife in Plymouth isn't bad. There are a variety of clubs and bars to suit the tastes of most, in fact you should be able to find at least one 'student night' in town for each day of the week. For those looking for some lighter entertainment, we have a fairly new complex located close to the seafront encompassing a 15 screen Warner Village cinema, Megabowl, McDonalds, a nightclub, bar and more. There are plenty of opportunities ...

Review of Plymouth University

...with studying a degree in Plymouth is not down to the layout, lecturers or library but down to the excellent nightlife and cheap alcaholic beverages that entice you to party every night of the week (probably why I'm repeating my first year!). Whether it is a Sunday and you want to head down to Heroes for a pound a pint or a Friday when you want to check out Millenium for a £12 all inclusive including admission, cloak room, food and drinks, you will ...
...(hopefully 2nd division next year!!), Plymouth is the home to a football club with a long history and some of the most passionate supporters around. Plymouth Pavillions is home to The Plymouth Raiders basketball team on Saterday nights for b-ball fans to enjoy some of the best basketball outside of the Budweiser League. With Plymouth Albion only just last week losing their 43 game unbeaten run, rugby is another spectator sport avilable in this great ...

Review of Plymouth University

Plymouth is a great city making it a good choice for a University. If you are thinking you need to get away from the busy life of the bigger cities Plymouth might be the place for you! But don't think that means Plymouth doesn't have the shops, nighlife and great surroundings you expect from your time in Uni... it does! Plymouth is a relativley small city with only approx 250,000 people, this is for some a negative but for me and many others the ...
...Technology and the University of Plymouth Colleges. These cater for almost any type of course you'd like to study from a PHD in brain surgery to a degree in Surf studies!!! The chidcare facilities on campus are really good with a nursery called "freshlings" which friends with children have told me is great! It takes up to 50 children between the ages of 0 and 5 and is open between 08.15 and 17.45 all year round. Being so close to both the sea and ...

Review of Plymouth University

Plymouth University is (obviously) situated in the city of Plymouth, which is right down in the depths of south-west England. It is a good place to come to if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the more larger cities, but not if you want to be close enough to go home. So what courses are on offer? Everything from surfing (yes, they do a degree in surfing!) to nursing; and from maths to architecture. How do I apply? Through the usual ...
...The University of Plymouth provides a wide number of halls for students to rent out, that are lia dout in numerous bloks that involve single bedrooms with either en-suite or shared bathroom/ shower/ toilet facilities. However, all of these generally host communal sitting and eating/ dining areas so watch out that your food just doesn't go missing! However, there is also many places around the city that are private housing that can hold numerous students. ...

Review of Plymouth University

Plymouth has been proven as the best place to study Civil Engineering in the whole of the UK. Along with the high teaching standards, the Technology / Engineering department is situated slightly away from the main campus, which gives a more kind of friendly feel to it. It's probably less than 1 minutes walking from the sea, which is always nice on a warm sunny day. It is however, still only a very short walk into the city centre, where you can find ...
...are all the necessary facilities, such as computers (not too many, but with the lower student numbers, there are nearly always some available). The lecturers are all very nice genuine people (most of which continue their work as Engineers etc. in their free time). The night life is obviously going to be very good with so many pubs and clubs to choose from, but it's not difficult to escape from if you want an early night. Things such as the libraries ...

Review of Plymouth University

I went to Plymouth University primarily because it was a long way from London. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. Plymouth is a beautiful city, with an almost beach, fantastic pubs/cafes and bars, and easy access to Dartmoor and the delights of Cormwall. Plymouth is particularly well set up for students with cheap booze offers all over town and many special student nights in local clubs. Courses, vary in quality. I was a part of the Sociology ...
...as a whole though. The main advantage to Plymouth University was its friendliness, although caution is advised it is still possible to meet lectures and students alike in local pubs of an afternoon on drinking shesh's. In summary Plymouth Uni is an ace way to spend a good few years. ...

Review of Plymouth University

The University of Plymouth is well-kept and professional university. Set in the city of Plymouth, everywhere you go you are surrounded by stunning scenery. Being situated near the sea, the university is especially good for those who like the beach life, or are interested in geography or environmental based degrees. The facilities at the university are vast and easily available for the students. The nightlife is adequate, but don’t expect the best ...

Review of Plymouth University

I am also at Plymouth University, but am based on the Exmouth campus, which is approximately 40 miles away from the main site. At Rolle College, we have little or no contact with the main site, and as the student population here is very small, it sometimes feels like you're still at college, with no real sense of University life. Although Rolle College is primarily a teaching college, students of the arts, such as English, Media, Fine Art, or Performing ...
...towns can offer students a portion of the student life, but the atmosphere at Rolle college is not conducive to study, and theteaching support is sadly lacking. If you find yourself faced with a problem of any kind, it is invariably likely for you to come across tutors who would rather leave their contact with the students to their few teaching hours. With the exception of a small minority, I have found the teachers at Rolle unhelpful and/or uninterested. ...

Review of Plymouth University

...However Plymouth is a safe and friendly city, the campus is located in the city centre and the student area (student housing etc) is also in the same vicinity. Due to recent expansion the Uni has managed its cash flow by limiting the Student Unions Budget (thus impacting on sports and social activities). I hope the business school and university can manage it's new resources that it has invested in better than it has managed my education. ...

Review of Plymouth University

Plymouth uni has done lots to throw off its old poly feel and has become a modern university. It has great links to the city and with the sea on the door step you can relax when the weather lets you. The hoe centre is where the architecture school is based(moving in 4 years to main campus). It is a self contained unit in that it has it's own cafe and drinks machines which keep us awake when we're working through the night, it has 24hr computer access ...

The lecturers are all qualified architects and give a broad range advise to us learning students. There are plenty of opportunities for sporting and other activities on or off campus. The uni has a gym and squash courts and opportunities exist for swimming, scuba diving, sailing, ...

I'm about to begin Stage 2 of the M.Eng/B.Eng Civil and Coastal Engineering programme. I have nothing but praise so far for the department I am in. What I especially like is the accessibility of my lecturers, members of staff and other students. The staff are friendly and approchable and make learning about Engineering a joy. Plymouth, itself, is a very nice town. The university is located such that just about everything one requires is within easy ...

Review of Plymouth University

...studying via the University of Plymouth at their Cornwall Campus in Pool, Redruth. The course is musch the same as you would find else where with the University of Plymouth but there the similarity ends. Being at the "end of the line" the is no feeling of University life - few activities and a social events calendar next to nothing. That does not concern me too much as a "mature student" but if you are looking for night life from your university ...
...heavily on the next door Cornwall College and many of us feel more akin to that institution than our own - especially as the library services are shared with them leading to many nursing books being taken out and unvailable because of non-nursing students using them. On the plus side - the computer facilities are far superior to the rest of the university with little waiting for a machine to be free. The tutors (like else where) can be hit and miss ...
