The University of Plymouth sits on the idyllic South Devon coastline at the very centre of the city of Plymouth. 
One of the largest universities in the region, our growing international community is made up of 2000 students from over 100 different countries.
Subject-specific international summer schools are becoming an established part of the University and each year we build on this to deliver a successful suite of programmes.
