About University of Plymouth

The University of Plymouth is a post-1992 university located on the waterfront in Plymouth, Devon, in the South West of England. It is one of the larger modern universities and has a long association with the sea, maritime heritage, and the natural environment of the South West peninsula.

Plymouth has recognised strengths in marine science and technology, medicine, dentistry, nursing, law, business, architecture, and the creative arts. The Marine Institute and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory foster strong research links in ocean science. The coastal setting and connections to the Royal Navy and the offshore sector make it a distinctive choice for students interested in maritime and environmental subjects.
