Applicants who have the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) with two units at Grade II and four units at Grade III double-unit subjects (including two double-unit courses) are eligible to apply for a bachelors degree. Within these six units, we will consider two units being single awards.
An associate degree, with good grades, may also be considered suitable for direct entry to year one of a relevant bachelor degree course.
For applicants who do not meet the above requirements, there are foundation options available via the University of Plymouth International College (UPIC) .

Find out what our students think

The University helped me tremendously with settling in – I was able to meet new people at the events they held for international students. I especially liked the tea and scones and dinner they provided for us.

The University of Plymouth not only provides you with an education, but also with an experience of self-discovery and opportunities of personal development. am so grateful for the opportunity!

I enjoyed having discussions in the classroom and being with groups of like-minded people who were focused on teaching and learning and professional development.
