Discover how you or your organisation can support talented engineering students through theTamar Engineering Project .
On behalf of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, I am delighted to be able to thank the 1973 Civil Engineering alumni for their generous contribution to the Tamar Engineering Project and for funding a prize for our 2022/23 final-year Civil Engineering undergraduates. The TEP provides mentoring and support to those who wish to study Engineering at Plymouth but whose backgrounds or personal circumstances might be a barrier; the final-year prize will enable us to recognise and reward an outstanding piece of work. The kindness of the 1973 alumni shows that the benefits of a Plymouth education extend well over 50 years!

A reunion is a great way of bringing back memories, in our case it's been 50 years. Coming back to what was once a polytechnic is now a full-blown university and a great place, you can absorb the atmosphere now compared with 50 years ago and feel a big difference. I would thoroughly recommend it.
I would recommend a reunion. Getting back together renews the friendships and gives a wider perspective of what everyone has done since, people have been all over the world. It is great to get back and see the changes in what's been 50 years.
