Welcome
Undergraduate - BA (Hons) Year 2 or 3
We're looking forward to welcoming you to join our vibrant, supportive and friendly student community at Arts University Plymouth, so you can see for yourself what our students enjoy about studying here.
<p>Your time at university is so much more than learning new skills and laying the groundwork for your creative career; it’s a chance to meet new people, expand your horizons, and create unforgettable moments.<br /></p>
“I wouldn’t change any of the decisions that led me here. I’m so glad that I quit my job in London and came back to the South West to study Fine Art at Arts University Plymouth. That was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
Molly Erin McCarthy, BA (Hons) Fine Art Graduate

<p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://sites.google.com/aup.ac.uk/student-portal/home?authuser=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Student Portal</strong></a> is home to all of Arts University Plymouth’s online resources for students.<br /></p>
<p dir="ltr">The content is organised into easy to navigate sections, such as the Library, Student Support and Registry. Each section has a description so you know where to go for the information you need.<br /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Most students access the Student Portal using the Student Login button near the bottom right of the website. You cannot access the Student Portal until you have fully completed your enrolment. If you think that you have completed your enrolment, but you still can’t access the Student Portal, please email <a href="mailto:enquiries@aup.ac.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>enquiries@aup.ac.uk</strong></a></p>

<p>It allows you to see a bespoke selection of news, information and updates, tailored specifically to your level of study.</p>
<p>MyAUP gives you the ability to manage your academic life by having access to all relevant information at any given time, from any location.
