Explore Life on Campus

When you study with us, you’ll spend a lot of time at various places across our compact city-centre campus.

Where to Study on Campus

There are lots of places to study on campus, including the library – with access to approximately 350,000 books, 500,000 eBooks and 80,000 current journal titles.

Places to Eat

Where should you go to keep yourself energised? The Barbican has a variety of bars and cafés, or you can check out the restaurants and galleries at Royal William Yard.

Your New City

Plymouth has fantastic local, independent businesses – from art galleries to bars, restaurants and delicatessens. Check out the University’s website to see why local people and students chose and love Plymouth, and explore what Plymouth has to offer for your life outside study.

The Union

The Students’ Union is a student-founded and student-led charity that aims to represent our students’ voice. Each year, students elect new officers who work towards enhancing the overall university experience. Their work is centred around organising social events, conducting meetings to raise important issues, and helping students who may be facing challenges.

The Students’ Union also provides access to student groups and extracurricular activities to connect with others. Whether you are a sports fan, a cinema buff, a competitive gamer or a music lover, there is the right society for you. Meet like-minded people who have similar hobbies and interests and build new relationships.
