I've still not visited the university! Is there still time?!
•
I have some specific questions about the course, such as how to prepare or what to expect... Who can I ask?
We have our very friendly course reps available to chat to on Unibuddy! They're available to answer any specific course-related questions you might have or just to simply chat about Plymouth in general and what to expect from your university experience from a student's perspective.
•
I'm not sure I'm ready to start university just yet... Can I defer my place?
Plymouth allows deferred entry for standard courses. You can do so via UCAS when applying, but if you have already made an application or are studying health/education courses, please contact the Admissions team at [email protected].

Am I guaranteed a place in halls?
We guarantee to offer a place in Halls (either University-managed or with an accredited private halls provider) or in other suitable student accommodation to all new undergraduate students holding a firm offer who apply for their accommodation and are eligible under our terms and conditions before 17:00 on 4 July 2024.

Are all the halls on campus?
We have 2 halls of residence in our main campus and a student village with many more halls just across the road- a 2 minute walk away! All of them are at the heart of the university and city.
•
Is it first come first served?
Halls of residence applications are on a first-come, first-served basis; we don't ask for your first, second or third choice.
•
Who will I be staying with in my flat? Will they be matched to me based on any criteria?
When allocating rooms, we endeavour to match you with people who have similar living habits and interests to you. The application process includes some lifestyle questions to help us with the allocations – for example, whether you prefer to go to bed early or late. This helps us to place you with likeminded flatmates.
