The Student Experience

There is a whole lot more to life at City College Plymouth than simply studying.  We want you to get the most out of your free time, so we have a range social facilities and activities on offer that will give you an exceptional education experience …

Take part

Our Student Liaison team encourages all students to get involved in a range of social, cultural and sporting activities - and they are always looking for new ideas.  Their philosophy is that all work and no play is just not good for you!

Get active

As well as running a programme of activity classes - from pilates to circuit training - the College has a gym and gym instructor who can devise personal training programmes, a Football Development Centre and sports therapy clinic. Many of the activities are designed as tasters, and then if popular, are run for all abilities.

Pamper and relax

Our hairdressing and beauty therapy students run the College's professionally equipped salons, Creative Solutions, based at Kings Road. They are the ideal place to treat yourself with a new hair-do, massage or beauty treatment.

Food and drink

We have a number of places to buy food and drink at each of our centres - serving everything from cooked breakfasts to fresh sandwiches and three-course meals.  Some of these venues are run by students and have Fair Trade status. The venues include:

• College Refectories
• Costa Coffee
• Student delicatessen
• Crow's Nest Cafe
• Cite Restaurant and Brasserie
• Wholefood Delights organic food shop
• College shops.
