Louise-Oceane Delion – BSc (Hons) Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology

“My first journey to Plymouth was when I came for an open day. I flew from Bordeaux to London and got a train from London Paddington to Plymouth .

The University of Plymouth had so much to offer in terms of university life and seemed the best place to study BSc (Hons) Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology , something I couldn’t study back in France. There is so much to do at the University, with all the clubs, societies, and all your course mates that you will never feel alone.”
