Hi! I'm a year 13 student from the UK who will be studying marine biology next year; I have offers from several universities (and an interview coming up for another), including Plymouth. The course I will be doing is slightly different to the one you graduated from but I have some questions anyway; what did you enjoy most about the course and what did you like about the uni in general? Thank you for running such a lovely blog, your posts continue to inspire me. c:
I loved the practical experience - the field trips, the lab work opportunities I got with external institutions like the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Labs. I liked a lot of things about the Uni itself, though after so much time it’s hard to pinpoint the good or the bad. I LOVED the weather. Mild(er) winters, blissful summers (when the sun is out), and … ok the wind and sideways rain wasn’t always great.
I would highly recommend going to the open days of the Uni’s you’ve gotten offers from. I had my heart set on another University, but when I arrived to look at Plymouth, I knew it was the right place for me. Sometimes you just know, you know.
