Postgraduate Study

Hi everyone,

With the postgraduate open day right around the corner I thought I’d share some of my experiences in applying to a postgraduate course at Plymouth and what made me choose to study at Plymouth.

I did my undergrad at Plymouth but was unsure about whether I wanted to stay on for my masters or to try somewhere new. I spent months looking at different universities and courses online until I narrowed down my choices to a top 3. What eventually sold me on staying at Plymouth was the open day. They talked me through all the different options available to me so I could be sure that these best suited what I was looking for.

If you are considering postgraduate study I can’t recommend going to the open days enough. It’s the best way to get a feel for the course and the faculty you’ll be working with so you can make the best decision for you.

As a returning student the application was very easy. All I had to was fill out their application form, provide a short personal statement, my CV and 2 references from the university. Initially it seemed really daunting but when it came time to apply it was much easier than I’d imagined and there was nothing to worry about.

If you have any questions about applying to a postgraduate course or studying at Plymouth I’d be more than happy to help!

Hi Sophie what course did you study at Plymouth and did you stay on the same course for masters?

Hi, I'm about to study Occupational Therapy at Postgraduate level. I'm looking into accommodation at the moment for September and would rather live with others, but not in a 6-8 person house, and not on my own either. Do you have any recommendations for places to look?

I'd be interested in groups or websites where prospective students can buddy up to rent?
