Before starting university in Australia, I completed The Prince Programme at City College Plymouth, and I’m so glad I did. The college had modern facilities and equipment, and was surrounded by residential areas and parks—making it a peaceful and relaxed place to study.
The courses gave everyone equal learning opportunities, and the instructors were always friendly, encouraging, and supportive. They never discouraged our curiosity—they welcomed it. There were also many group assignments and reports, which I really enjoyed because it moved away from rote memorisation and encouraged collaboration and real thinking.

Before coming to the UK, I was studying at an international school in China. But due to some changes in my family, I finally chose to join PDVL The Prince Foundation programme — although, to be honest, it wasn’t entirely what I had planned at the time. At first, I was quite reluctant and unsure about studying here. But once the course began, everything changed. I was really impressed by how patient and supportive the teachers are. Whenever I didn’t understand something, they would keep explaining it until it made sense. That kind of dedication really helped me settle in.

One word to describe my experience with this program is amazing (that’s the best word I have in my dictionary, if there’s any better words than amazing, then I would use that). Overall, I really really really recommend you to go for it! I promise that you will have such a great experience and memory to keep! Not only do you learn independence, but you are going to make so many great moments! I recommend you to bring a camera if you have or make sure your phone has a big space of memory card, because I want you to record every moment from the first day of going to Plymouth so that you will not regret like me. You’re gonna miss every moment you had.

“I joined the Prince Programme Foundation at City College Plymouth in February 2024, and my experience at the college has been nothing but amazing. From state-of-the-art facilities to highly knowledgeable teachers, the college offers everything a student could need. Learning new topics has never felt daunting because the teachers excel at breaking down complex subjects, ensuring that every student fully understands the material. Additionally, they keep classes engaging by incorporating interactive activities, which not only makes learning enjoyable but also helps us bond as a class.”

My decision to join the International Foundation Program at City College Plymouth is one that I would never regret in my life as it has opened a door for me to complete my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Southampton and the University of Cambridge. Thanks to PDVL, I was able to choose the right course and institution that matched my needs, and I am now on the path to achieving my dream of being a qualified actuary.

PDVL is one of the best student consultant services I have gone through. Very reliable. Friendly and helpful. Concern about student safety and well-being. Very cooperative while being humble. Most importantly, trustworthy. PDVL ensures students enroll in their desired university without any hiccups.
I highly recommend that for all students who wish to study abroad, please contact PDVL. You will have no problem entering university. Thank you for your time.
