We offer an extensive portfolio of modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level for you and your organisation, which aim to develop new skills or refresh existing knowledge. Our modules are self-contained units of teaching, learning and assessment. You can combine modules towards University of Plymouth qualifications, or study modules individually for interest or professional development.

The level of difficulty is graded as per the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) of Degree-Awarding Bodies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland at levels 4, 5, 6 and 7. Level 6 is aligned to degree level, level 7 to masters.
