Come and visit us
Known as Britain's Ocean City and the gateway to the South West, Plymouth is well connected. Our campuses are located in the heart of Plymouth’s ‘Cultural Quarter’ and can be easily accessed regardless of where you’re arriving from.
We are served by a main Great Western Railway link from London Paddington and by Cross Country Trains north to the Midlands and Scotland. There are frequent services from Newton Abbot, Torbay, North Cornwall and North Devon.

We’re just five minutes away from Plymouth train station, where direct services depart to London Paddington (taking 3-3 ½ hours), Bristol, the Midlands, the North of England, Scotland and Penzance.

Our Palace Court and Palace Studios buildings are just a 15-minute walk or 5-minute cab-ride from Plymouth train station.
The closest airports are Exeter International (less than an hour away), Newquay and Bristol, with direct coach services also connecting Plymouth with Heathrow and Gatwick airports in London. Plymouth is well connected to Roscoff, France, and Santandar, Spain, by regular car and foot passenger ferry services: the university is just over a mile away from the ferry port.
