Welcome to Plymouth University

All of us at Plymouth University are very proud of our association with Plymouth University International College. Plymouth University prides itself on being the enterprise university, distinguished by excellence in teaching and learning and world-class research and we consider the College's high quality courses are a great fit with our leading academic approach.

Our relationship with the College presents an extraordinary opportunity for students to study and live on a major campus within the delightful English city of Plymouth. Since its establishment in 1862 as an educational provider, Plymouth University has offered undergraduate and postgraduate education characterised by breadth and flexibility as well as academic excellence in research that is world-leading in key areas.

This tradition is strengthened through our relationship with the College.

Our graduates are expected to display enterprise, imagination and intellectual rigour, as well as a practical awareness of the professions, industry and business: and these aims are consistent with those of Plymouth University International College.

The association between the two institutions is designed primarily to offer eligible students a pathway leading directly to a university degree.

I wish you every success with your studies and look forward to welcoming you to Plymouth University.
