2. Apply through UCAS or a local agent

Complete the UCAS application form.
If you need help with your UCAS application, contact the International Office at admissions@plymouth.ac.uk
You must enter your name as it appears in your current passport when applying for a course. You must also enter your current email address on your application form correctly.

Write a personal statement

If you apply through UCAS, you will need to submit a personal statement. A personal statement is a short essay or letter explaining your reasons for applying to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and why you have chosen your degree programme. Make sure it contains information about why you feel you should be accepted by the University for a place on the course. Use previous study and/or work experiences, as well as personal interests, to support this.

Apply through a local agent

Contact one the University’s representatives in your country and ask them to apply on your behalf.
Be aware of fraud and scams
Please be wary of individuals who may contact you through social media channels such as Telegram, WhatsApp etc. and state that they can act on your behalf to apply to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½. They may make promises that they can secure you a CAS and possibly also a Student visa to the UK. Students have been scammed by such individuals previously and have lost large amounts of money and had their applications rejected.
It is the decision of the University whether to issue a CAS after all the required documents have been supplied and checked, academic conditions met and credibility checks carried out where appropriate. It is the decision of the UK Home Office (UKVI) whether to grant a Student visa or otherwise and no one can guarantee that you will receive a visa.
Please also note that if any communications or documents received as part of an application to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½, appear to have been sent by the applicant direct, the applicant will be held responsible if those documents are found to be fraudulent or if false statements have been made. Therefore, please do not allow third parties to use your email address or to pose as you (the applicant) in any communications with the University, or to complete any documents that you should complete. Recognised overseas recruitment agencies will state their company, name and job title in communications with the University.

Information for agents

Most agents can apply through UCAS and some can apply directly through the University. Find out how to apply on behalf of a student: guidance for agents on submitting applications .
