Faculty of Science and Engineering

Overview

Organisation profile

At the heart of our teaching philosophy is the desire to give you programmes that are driven by research-informed teaching and are at the leading edge in their fields. We want you to be hands-on with as much of our equipment as possible, to develop skills as well as knowledge.

If you aren’t in the lecture theatre or the lab, you may well be in the field – we are lucky to have a location that supports our field-based programmes. If you are not on a field-based programme, you will still find the sea, the moors and the city to be very beneficial for social and leisure activities.

You will find when you come to Plymouth – the warmth of the welcome, the friendly, supportive environment and the thrill of discovering the amazing things that we do here.
