The growth of the marine autonomy sector is unlocking new opportunities, and our industry partners consistently tell us they need graduates who understand how new systems work and have the practical skills to turn theory into action.
Our Masters-level Applied Marine Autonomy module helps students develop these skills by offering experience in facilities like our Autonomous Systems Test Laboratory, our Marine Station, and on the waters of Plymouth Sound.
Those facilities and opportunities are also available through undergraduate degrees in Marine Engineering, Ocean Exploration, Computer Science and Robotics, as part of our commitment to fostering skills that are strengthening the UK’s national security and resilience.

![Paramedic Event: Exercise Dartmoor Clinical Champion Simulation
BSc (Hons) Paramedic Science students took part in an exercise organised by paramedic lecturers. The exercise took place on Dartmoor and enabled 3rd year students to develop their confidence in approaching a variety of simulated events that they might experience once they have graduated.
“The main objective of the event is for staff to pose difficult, but known, pre-hospital clinical situations and encourage teamwork, problem-solving and confidence from students as they work through these scenarios.” Sally Nitti lecturer and exercise leader.
Student feedback from the event.
“It honestly was the highlight of my 3 years at Plymouth uni. It was great to spend some time with my peers and lectures in a fun but challenging environment.”
“[I had] such an amazing time away, it came at such a crucial point of the degree where I needed that confidence boost and to push myself further and show areas that I can do well and areas that I need to focus on in these last few weeks of my degree.”
“I really enjoyed the Ex CC weekend and feel it was one of the highlights of the entire course”
“I had one of the best weekends of my life. I knew, being so far out of my comfort zone, that it would be challenging but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.”
“ I learnt so so much not just clinically but about myself and how resilient I actually am.”
