“I really love my uni, I don't think I could have found somewhere better for me. I've been given so many incredible opportunities since I got here and my work has improved massively.”

Arts University Plymouth students say:
“I can’t fault them, it’s the reason I have moved over 300miles from Lincolnshire to study down south (here) leaving all my family and friends to better myself and become a better me. And this uni has completely helped and changed my-life for the better.”
“AMAZING!! When I got asked to give guest lecturers a tour of the place, they couldn't believe how lucky we are. The fact that we have so much tutor and studio time was something I was so grateful for, let alone all of the facilities.”
