Welcome to your Plymouth University ‘Euroman’ programme. Whilst at Plymouth we aim to give you a rewarding and enjoyable experience. You will find the teachers and administrators at the University friendly, welcoming and committed to your success.

Today’s managers working in the engineering sector must have a strong sense of where the world is going, a sound base of knowledge and skills, and an enterprising spirit. Whatever your career aspirations, we are committed to enabling you to learn and apply a body of knowledge to a variety of situations and to develop your management skills. Our programme is designed to provide you with the academic knowledge necessary to translate theory into practice and to enable you to apply that knowledge effectively in your current or future career.

We hope you find your programme both contemporary and stimulating. We want you to have fun, and we want you to be stretched to the best of your academic abilities. You will have opportunities to experience a range of approaches to learning during your time Studying on Euroman. Please seize these opportunities and remember that ‘life is not a dress rehearsal’; you get out what you put in.

Good luck in your studies!

Professor David WheelerPro Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean of Business, Plymouth University

A WEEKENDIN THE SOUTHWEST

PLYMOUTH

Plymouth is the largest city in the South West, with a population of over 250,000, and offers everything you would expect from a thriving and energetic community.

Plymouth has some of Europe’s most spectacular countryside and beaches and Plymouth’s enviable location between Dartmoor National Park and the sea makes it the ideal place to study, visit and live.

Plymouth enjoys a combination of rural charm and modern city living, and is about 3 hours by train from London. The University is set in the heart of the city with shops, facilities and attractions nearby.

WHAT TO DO?

The South West of England offers an exciting array of activities and attractions.

You could visit the National Marine Aquarium and be amazed by the fascinating underwater world in the UK’s largest aquarium attraction.

Or pop down to St Austell and see the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Eden Project where dramatic global gardens are housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches.

See the wonders of the wild world at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park which is home to more animals than anywhere else in the South West.

If you are a fan of Rasamunde Pilcher then why not visit Mullion Cove which was featured in: ‘Amazing Grace,’ ‘A Secret to Tell’ and ‘Another View’. The historic fishing cottage on the quay provided shelter from the storm, the old boat house the love scene in ‘Toby’ and the cobbled quay the location for the horses going by in ‘Carousel. You might also like to see St Michaels Mount, Penzance and Lands End too.

The beautiful Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park offers great coastal walks around the grounds of this impressive estate and the local pub does some great food.

St Ives is a seemingly subtropical oasis where the beaches are golden, the vegetation lush and the light piercingly bright. The Tate St Ives gallery is here and offers a lively programme of international modern art.

Next to Plymouth is the beautiful and dramatic Dartmoor National Park where you can undertake a vast array of outdoor activities or simply relax and enjoy the view.

If you prefer good food, fun bars with live music and a bit of history then Plymouth’s Historic Barbican is the place for you. This is where the famous Plymouth Gin Distillery is located so why not take the tour then try the gin as well.
