Find out what our students think

I am someone who loves adventure and meeting new people, so I was eager to have a new experience living in a new country. The University helped me tremendously with settling in – I was able to meet new people at the events they held for international students.

The University of Plymouth offers a wide range of opportunities. There is also a lot of support on offer for international students to help cope in a different cultural environment.

Being an international student here feels very welcoming. I have made friends from all over the world due to the high international population. I have had the chance to learn about different cultures and world views.
