Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Plymouth

MSc Psychology

UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH

Madeleine - December 2025

Our student union has been underfunded recently, making it so that sports clubs are receiving less funding and are having to fund themselves if they want to play at the highest level for the members.
There are incredible psychology labs that include robots and VR headsets surrounding research and they have a great placements team to find you experience within your degree
I love the location, the university is close to everything and within walking distance from the centre. It is a great student city with many different student events all week read full review

MSc Data Science and Business Analytics

UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH

Lauren - December 2025

I think there are a lot of positives to the location in terms of it being a coastal city, having Dartmoor and Cornwall very nearby. However, this does make connecting back to the rest of the UK difficult for students that don't drive or have cars with them, due to a semi-reliable train network across the South West.

I think the facilities in my school are incredible. However, in my opinion there is too much group work on this course. The shops on campus are a reasonable price and the facilities staff are amazing, positive, reliable and sociable. read full review

MSc Marine Conservation

UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH

Freya - December 2025

Great location with access to so many career and skill learning opportunities.
My lecturers and professors are all actively working in the field so we get up to date developments all the time!

Could be improved by improving campus accessibility- lifts are often out of order and not all lectures are recorded read full review

MSc Hydrography

UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH

Anon - December 2025

Great marine science facilities. Student support are usually very helpful. Most buildings are close together and easy to get to but it's still in the city centre, so not as closed off as most closed campus universities. The SU is understaffed right now, which is unfortunate, and makes societies a bit harder to run than usual. The SoBMS do listen to module complaints and make changes, so your experience will have been improved by every year above you. Cheap housing (but watch out for bad contracts!) and a mostly safe city - as far as cities go. Some really nice bars and constant student events/discounts, as well as decent buses, make it a pretty good living situation. It's also not that difficult to get into nature - either a short walk down to the sea, or a bus/train visit to Dartmoor. read full review

MSc Cyber Security

UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH

Oluwaseun - December 2025

In addition to the high standard of education being given, they make international students feel welcomed. There's good sense of belonging. read full review
