Arts University Plymouth

Amazing university with fantastic lecturers, friendly technicians and the facilities are impeccable. I'm honoured and proud to be a part of arts University Plymouth

It was during 2010 that I started my adventure with the Plymouth College of Art, I have always had a deep passion for video games and have wanted to actively learn more about the process of making and designing. I came to the college with no experience in 3D modelling and over the years I have improved extensively in creating 3D environments using industry standard tools and game engines. Through the links and knowledge of the Design for Games staff, I have had opportunities to attend and staff gaming events around the UK which includes, Brighton Develop Conference and Extended Play in Bath.To my surprise, Plymouth is a hot spot for game designers, artists and programmers and Extended Play hosts meet-ups every month bringing industry talent and students a like to openly discuss videogames and enjoy a drink with awesome company.All in all, I genuinely enjoyed my time with the college and I would happily do the course again if that was a viable option.

I work for the college so a little bit biased I guess but it is a great place to work, (although always so much to do!) and from what our students tell me an amazing place to study. Full of amazing makers and artists (students and lecturers) with so many different skills and passions from a wide variety of backgrounds.Students get lots of study time at degree level, three times some of the big creative universities and as an art school rather than a generalist university there is a genuine buzz, open minded and experimental attitude throughout and a passion for supporting arts both in the local community and internationally. A very special place.

A wonderfully inspiring place to study - I love the creative buzz here. I have spent many years learning at Plymouth College of Art, from taking part in Saturday arts club with my schoolmates to doing short courses and evening courses - each time i have found the college to be a welcoming, exciting, creative place where I have truly enjoyed learning and spending time. A definite asset to the creative landscape in the South West.

I feel very proud to have studied at the college at Pre-degree and Undergraduate level. The atmosphere is very welcoming and inclusive, and what swayed my decision to study here was the academic staff. They were able to provide endless amounts of time and support, but also invaluable collegiate friendships and links into industry.I have now been working at Plymouth College of Art for several years, and it’s exciting to be a part of this ever growing creative community.

Easy wheelchair access and sign posted from the city centre up. Well informed University students in pink t-shirts to answer any of your queries. Would highly recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to visit this place.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Watched a film here, in the small cinema that the college offers. Was a good viewing experience however seats are not the most comfortable.

I did a foundation course here for a year and thoroughly enjoyed my time. It’s a fantastic learning environment for creatives and it always seems to be improving. The resources available to students were great when I was there and now even more so!

The staff here are for the most part all excellent, however the way the institution is managed and the awful lack of communication from the upper administration hurts what could have been an excellent institution.The frequent use of politically charged language which decorates much of the interior and exterior also leaves a very uncomfortable atmosphere for those who wish to not engage with politics in their workplace.

Fab hub of creativity. Great courses and top rate facilities. The training and courses I have attended have been of the highest standard. I particularly enjoyed the ceramics course I attended. The glass blowing looked amazing as well. If you get a chance pop into the temporary exhibition space, there is often an interesting show on.
