As well as following the latest UK government guidance, we are carefully monitoring the evolving situation to ensure that we can safely welcome you to campus.

What is most useful to you?
We know everything's challenging at the moment and you have lots of questions needing answers. We're keen to help as much as possible to ensure you can still make the right decision about university, for you.
“For me, going to an open day not only confirmed that I wanted to study in Plymouth, but that I wanted to go to university in the first place. I believe open and offer holder days are a fundamental part of the application process, as it provides an opportunity to break down that barrier of unfamiliarity with the location, the course, and the idea of being a student.”
