Find out what our students think

Be open to trying new things. Even if you are shy, I would encourage international students to make it a goal to get out of their comfort zone and meet new people.

I would recommend undertaking a course with the University of Plymouth because there are many course options so there is something for everyone. The lecturers are passionate about their subject and that’s inspiring.

It’s so easy to meet and establish friendships with people of different cultures, nationalities, upbringings at the university – all it takes is to approach a person and a conversation will ignite.
