Plymouth University's Ms Andrea Walters has said that Plymouth wanted to use a fun approach to gaining potential students as well as showing what the area has to offer.

The university buggy is driven by students and travels around the county of Devon visiting different locations including St Mawes, St Ives and Sennen until the daybefore A-level results are released in the UK.
