University of Plymouth Academic Partnerships is a partnership between the University of Plymouth, local colleges, and universities to deliver a range of higher education courses in the UK, as well as the Channel Islands, and at international institutions.
The University of Plymouth Academic Partnerships began as a network of local colleges in 1989 with the Polytechnic South West.
The polytechnic entered into partnership agreements with local FE colleges in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset to extend the provision of HE opportunities.
[6] Students studying at partner colleges in the UK have access to the University of Plymouth's library.
All students at partner colleges have limited access to the University of Plymouth's student services, and full access to the online careers and employability system.
