A suitable English language qualification is required for degree courses and for exchange or visiting students who receive a CAS. Accepted tests include IELTS Academic, Pearson PTE Academic, LanguageCert Academic, Trinity ISE, TOEFL iBT, Duolingo and Cambridge English; an IELTS result must be no more than three years old at the start of the degree. Courses in health professions, nursing, midwifery, medicine, dentistry and English subjects require a higher level. The published requirements apply to students with a non-EU nationality; EU students are told their English requirement during the admission process. Applicants who do not meet the requirement may be able to take a pre-sessional course.
Halls of residence are on campus or in the nearby Student Village, a few minutes' walk from university facilities and the city centre; they are provided in partnership with UPP. New undergraduates who make Plymouth their firm first choice and apply by the guarantee deadline are guaranteed a place in halls. Rooms for the 2026-2027 academic year are booked through the Accommodation Portal. Prepaid catered halls (34 weeks, breakfast and dinner Monday to Friday) are available, and the university gives information on private rented housing for postgraduate and returning students.
