Our Partners

Located in the South West of England, University of Plymouth International College (UPIC) offers undergraduate and postgraduate pathways to University of Plymouth (UoP). With small class sizes and one-to-one support available, UPIC is proud to deliver quality teaching to students from across the world.

All courses include a focus on critical thinking and research methodology. By using these skills successfully at the college, students will thrive within the UK education system. Students will also benefit from taking part in group projects, leading presentations, and choosing modules that will spark their interest.

Before UPIC students graduate to UoP, they have access to campus events and volunteering opportunities that will help them to feel confident and acclimatised to university life.

UoP is ranked in the top 5 in the UK for marine teaching and research (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2024) and the geographical location is perfect for navigation, marine, and ocean studies. The university’s dedicated marine station allows students to conduct their own experiments on site. Plymouth is unique because it is home to the largest marine institute in Europe.

UoP has placed as a Top 2 Young UK University (Times Higher Education Young University Rankings 2024). To get these results, educational intuitions have to be less than 50 years old, and are judged based on teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

The city of Plymouth hosts a vibrant community, with the campus just minutes away from the beautiful Devon coastline. It is a lovely place for international students to study and relax.

The University of Sheffield has a proud history of discovery, innovation and social change. In 1930, we pioneered the very first medical use of penicillin, while more recently our researchers developed a lifesaving drug for the treatment of ovarian and breast cancer.

Our motto “Rerum Cognoscere Causas” (to discover the causes of things), is as relevant today as when we were founded in 1905. However, the world is now a very different place. As the world has evolved, so have we. As we have grown, so have our ambitions. Now we don’t just want to understand the world, we want to change it. We believe in bold action and are unified in the knowledge that we can transform the world we live in for the better.

Today, we are pioneering research into sustainable farming to safeguard the world’s food supply, recreating the interiors of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear reactors to aid the clean-up process, and working with the world’s biggest social media companies to protect vulnerable users from harmful content.

We’re focused on equipping our students for life after Sheffield and our outstanding research-led teaching is empowering the next generation of global citizens. Our students have gone on to be bestselling authors, gold medal-winning Olympians and even groundbreaking astronauts.

We’re proud of the difference we’ve made and continue to make. But we’ll never stop exploring new ways to do more.

Our academic thought, research, and creativity energise the world around us. This starts right here in our home city of Sheffield. We care deeply about this place. Its spirit fuels our people. Just like Sheffield, we were forged and shaped by invention. We push, we explore, we innovate, we define. We make things, and we make things happen. It’s who we are.

Yet we’ve always looked to the wider world for inspiration and collaboration, welcoming students and staff from over 140 countries and nurturing research and alumni links across the world. These partnerships not only provide international opportunities for our people but also drive investment locally. This is a global university. Not just in our outlook, not just in our ambition, but in the challenges we tackle every day.

None of this would be possible without our outstanding people, who drive our progress. Their innovation and initiative take the world in new directions: from developing the first new compound to kill antibiotic-resistant superbugs in 50 years, to powering industrial innovation and securing jobs through the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre. It’s our people who are unlocking the potential of the next generation with inspirational teaching and cutting-edge apprenticeships focused on the skills of the future.

The sense of community spirit here at Sheffield is like no other. Our staff and students work together. They support and inspire one another. Our diverse and inclusive community brings together different views, approaches and insights, leading to richer, more creative and innovative teaching and research.
