Arts University Plymouth has been shortlisted for University of the Year and in three other categories of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) 2024.
The nominees and winners are based on reviews submitted by students from across the UK, and winners are judged by a panel made up of prospective and current university students.
One recent student review of Arts University Plymouth from a BA (Hons) Painting, Drawing & Printmaking student said:
‘It is a joy to come in every day. I seem to make more new friends every week. All in all, attending Arts University Plymouth is proving to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. To be creative and express myself the way I want to. Everyone can be themselves. It is like entering another world walking through those doors each day. A creative paradise.’
Arts University Plymouth has also been shortlisted in the categories of best Lecturers & Teaching Quality, best Student Support and best Facilities. Arts University Plymouth has won a place on more shortlists in the WUSCAs this year than any other university in Devon and Cornwall.
Professor Paul Fieldsend-Danks, Vice-Chancellor & Chief Executive of Arts University Plymouth, said:
‘To be shortlisted for University of the Year based on students reviews, less than two years since Arts University Plymouth was first awarded university status, is a very special moment for our whole community. Students are at the heart of every decision we make and I know that my talented colleagues from across Arts University Plymouth join me in thanking every student who used Whatuni to recognise the high quality of our creative arts provision and the work that we do to prioritise student experience and success.’
The shortlisting for University of the Year 2024 follows other recent successes, with students voting Arts University Plymouth the top UK arts university for overall student satisfaction in the National Student Survey (NSS) 2022.
The winners of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2024 will be announced on 24 April.
