Congratulations on being invited to attend an interview in Plymouth. We hope you enjoyed the experience and had a great day with us.
As part of your day you were given your own sustainable cup which we hope you will keep as a reminder of your day with us.
The design was produced by one of our BA (Hons) Illustration graduates. Laura talks about her cup design in this video.
The student stories below show how our students use their inspiration and creativity to create amazing work of art. The disciplines may differ but each of our students showcased here have immersed themselves in their physical location to maximise their talents.
We hope you find these inspiring and that they help to give you an insight into what it’s like to study at Plymouth and the limitless possibilities that lay ahead of you.
Beth’s work was inspired by her time spent walking on Dartmoor National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty located only a few miles from our campus.
She was one of her group who were inspired by the history and use materials found locally to incorporate in her ceramics.
Beth has made her work represent her journey as a designer maker translating her experiences into her work with clay.

My experience here has met my expectations, it's meant that I know exactly what I need to do to be where I want to be

"Every Sunday morning for the last 26 years, dedicated enthusiasts have explored and preserved the closed workings of an old mine with an ongoing passion. Crawling 240 feet underground, their age fades and their imagination and wonder takes over, transporting them back to their youth. The pace is slow, and the work is dangerous, but their encouragement lies in the discovery of new tunnels, and unknown secrets from the past. The team strives to preserve the site for future generations, to learn about the mysteries lying underneath them."
We take sustainability seriously.
Your cup is made from 100 per cent recycled materials. We hope that for those who decide to study with us at Plymouth this will be a lasting reminder of your initial visit and the very beginning of your journey.
