Next year the University launches the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, establishing itself as the first post-‘92 University to lead a medical school with a dental school. This builds on the success of Plymouth University’s ten-year partnership with the University of Exeter, in which they collaboratively created the South West’s first Medical and Dental school.
Plymouth University already has a strong record of excellence, enterprise and innovation across its teaching and research activities and having its own medical and dental schools will enhance this exceptional portfolio.
Celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2012, the University enjoys outstanding links with employers and plays a key role in civic, community and regional leadership.
