The University of Plymouth International College (UPIC) is a private institution. It operates as a pathway college, offering foundation and pre-master’s programs designed to prepare international students for entry into the University of Plymouth, which is a public university. UPIC is part of the Navitas Group, a global education provider specializing in university pathway programs.
While UPIC collaborates closely with the University of Plymouth, it remains an independent entity. Its programs are tailored to meet the academic and language requirements of students seeking admission to the public university, but it does not confer degrees itself.
