A History of Innovation
Plymouth has been at the heart of British naval power for over four centuries, with Devonport Royal Dockyard established in 1691 and serving as the principal base for warship construction and maintenance ever since. The city's Hoe was the legendary departure point for Sir Francis Drake and the Pilgrim Fathers. Plymouth's Marine Biological Association, founded in 1888, pioneered the scientific study of ocean ecosystems and remains globally influential today.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Sir Francis Drake, born nearby in Tavistock, is Plymouth's most famous mariner and one of the great navigators of the Elizabethan age. Robert Falcon Scott, the Antarctic explorer, trained at the Britannia Royal Naval College and departed Plymouth on expeditions that expanded scientific knowledge of polar regions. Marie Lebour, a marine biologist who worked at the Marine Biological Association laboratory in Plymouth from 1915, published extensively on marine plankton and became one of the foremost marine scientists of her generation. Sir John Hawkins, Plymouth's sixteenth-century shipwright, revolutionised warship design with the race-built galleon, directly influencing the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
Plymouth’s STEM Economy Today
Devonport Naval Base, operated by Babcock International, is the largest naval dockyard in Western Europe and the UK's sole facility for refitting nuclear submarines. Plymouth's marine science cluster includes the Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the University of Plymouth's Marine Institute, collectively forming one of the largest concentrations of marine research expertise in Europe. The Oceansgate enterprise zone is attracting marine technology companies specialising in autonomous underwater vehicles, ocean data analytics and sustainable aquaculture.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Careers in Plymouth range from nuclear submarine engineering and naval architecture at Babcock to marine biology, oceanography and environmental monitoring at the city's research institutions. The University of Plymouth offers highly regarded degrees in marine engineering, navigation and ocean science. Babcock's apprenticeship programmes at Devonport are among the most sought-after in the South West, offering routes into mechanical, electrical and nuclear engineering.
Investing in STEM Education in Plymouth
Devonport is the largest naval dockyard in Western Europe and the UK's sole facility for refitting nuclear submarines. The Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory form one of Europe's largest marine science clusters. Babcock employs thousands of engineers. These are not small operations. They require a continuous pipeline of young engineers, scientists and technicians. For schools in Plymouth, STEM enrichment doesn't connect students to some distant career prospect. It connects them to world-class industries operating in their own city.
