Plymouth University
Plymouth University is consistently one of the top modern universities, rated in
the top 350 of the most recent Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
With a strong record of excellence, enterprise and innovation across its
teaching and research activities Plymouth is distinguished by its long-term
engagement with employers.
The University is one of the largest in the country, with around 30,000 students,
a third of whom study at its 18 partner institutions via the University of
Plymouth Colleges (UPC) Faculty. This partnership is nationally recognised as
one of the largest, longest established and best-developed partner college
networks in the country and brings university-level education to students across
the South West. As a partner of the UPC Faculty, Exeter College offers numerous
higher education programmes awarded by Plymouth University. Our Foundation
Degree programmes usually have at least one built-in progression route to an
Honours Degree. These are often one-year courses available at Plymouth
University, or in some cases, another institution. Please note there is a
deadline for applications and places may be subject to availability.
In terms of academic study, all UPC Faculty students have the same rights and
status as other Plymouth University students. You will benefit from additional
support and resources provided by the university including its library,
electronic resources and learning support materials through a web-based student
portal. You will be a member of the University’s Students’ Union (UPSU) and
through your college can access the university’s support and advice resources
which form the ‘Student Gateway’.
