Make Plymouth yours

Sea air. City energy. Devon on your doorstep.
The historic Barbican and waterfront.
Plymouth Hoe and spectacular sea views.
Independent cafés, restaurants and bars.
North Hill and its lively student scene.
Drake Circus and city-centre shopping.
Beaches, coastal walks and outdoor adventures.
Devon’s countryside and Dartmoor.
And two universities bringing student life to the heart of the city.
You can spend the afternoon by the water, wander through the Barbican, find somewhere new to eat or meet friends for a night out. Explore North Hill and Mutley Plain, discover Plymouth’s creative side or simply find a spot by the sea to switch off.
With the University of Plymouth and Arts University Plymouth both close to the city centre, student life is woven into everything around you.

Some university cities give you student life. Plymouth gives you student life by the sea.
With the waterfront, beaches, historic streets and two universities all woven into the city, Plymouth gives you plenty of ways to spend your time. Explore the Barbican, walk along the Hoe, meet friends for food or drinks, head to a gig or get out into Devon when you need a change of scene.
And when you want even more adventure, the beaches, countryside and moors beyond the city are waiting. It’s a place where university life comes with sea air, fresh perspectives and plenty of stories to make.
University on your doorstep. Plymouth at your feet.
