University of Plymouth — Local services in Plymouth

Not a good university in my opinion. I originally applied for here and when applying found out I needed a Maths grade B to do the course (I have a grade C). I emailed them and rang them up to see if there was any chance I could get in however they said there was no chance. I applied for Portsmouth university instead and last Christmas (After I applied for Portsmouth) I got a letter through the post offering me a place at Plymouth... despite being rejected and told it wasn't possible. This Uni clearly doesn't give a damn about candidates and treats them very poorly by the means of messing them about! I'm happy I got into Portsmouth which is a much better University as it turns out! Much better equipment than we were shown at Plymouth and accommodation is of a much higher standard in Portsmouth! This should be a warning to all candidates! Don't apply to Plymouth unless you really have too; they could/will mess you about! Obviously I can't review the learning quality however being messed about before even joining the university means I have only...

Really awful university. I'm appalled and upset that I wasted £9,250 here. I studied for my first year here and it was just terrible. They are more interested in bringing in the masses of students for money than actually giving you a good education. For reference, I did the LLB Law course. All but 2 of the lecturers I had need to be fired. I'm sorry but that's the truth. It gets to a point where a teacher loses their spark and just turns up for the paycheck. That is exactly what it felt like to me. Instead of spending more money on actually good lecturers, they spend millions "modernizing" their buildings. I had no support here and really truly hated the whole experience. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I now go to an amazing university that actually appreciates its students. I have 20 people in my class as opposed to 350 and it makes a WHIRLWIND of a difference. The lecturers want to help you and I have never felt more support...

"Expect the Unexpected"

Very bad experience studying here. (Studied Robotics Engineering)

Lecturers(few) being unfair, being equal and being hateful.

I had raised a complaint to the complaints office addressing the issue that I had faced regarding my results(which is against the university examination policy). Its been more than 3 months after the complaint had been placed and I haven't heard back from them(except the first acknowledgment email) and which is also against the university policy. They aren't replying to my emails at the same time.

This shows the nature of the complaint and the university who are not ready to show equality. I'll be taking this issue to a very next level.

I wouldn't recommend anybody to join this university unless you want to face similar issues.

WARNING "It's not just me who have faced this kind of issues."

Indeed PLYMOUTH is a very nice place filled with tradition, culture...
