University opens new Gateway

Relocating from the seclusion of Portland Mews to the prime real estate of the Roland Levinsky Building, the team has now become the public face of the University. Gateway offers course and graduate careers advice, not just to students and staff, but the city of Plymouth as well. And by working closely with Formation Zone and Formation 2.0, it will be a first port of call for any budding entrepreneurs looking for support. Marc Lintern, Head of Employability, said: “So many people have come through the doors since we opened – and the feedback has been great. We really are in a superb location – right at the hub of things and easy for members of the public to find. The refit of two ground floor teaching rooms adjacent to Crosspoint has created a colourful and vibrant facility, complete with Waterstones-style tables loaded with glossy guides and directories, sofas, wifi access and three interview ‘cubes’. The careers information team staff the reception desks and can arrange services such as CV polishing, interview technique tuition and psychometric testing.
