Digital Media degrees in South West England

I think that the uni needs more availability for booking tutorials and things. I think we should be able to sell our art in the uni reception too. I think the uni is great in regards to student support

The University Location is great for those who aren't fussed about city life as it is in a quiet location. I found the environment and facilities great throughout the years. The mental health team could be better, the SU can be challenging to get appointments with and the wellbeing team can be unprofessional which I didn't expect especially now there is a Mental Health Charter Award. Accessibility have been amazing though if I ever have an issues or need help with DSA related issues.

As an international Environmental Management student, my time at Plymouth has been defined by two things: academic freedom and incredible support. When I faced significant personal loss and financial struggles that impacted my attendance, the faculty didn't write me off they gave me the flexibility to recover and succeed. The course itself is far more than just exams. I was able to lead complex, consultancy-style projects (like my work on Singapore Heat Stress policies) that felt like real professional work, not just coursework. The resources in the Marine Building and library are top-tier for anyone willing to push themselves. Plymouth offers a rare balance: it challenges you intellectually to reach distinction levels, but supports you personally when life gets hard. Highly recommended for students who want resilience alongside their degree.

I think the best one is about how you learn more about the industry work, can easily get access to things and meet new friends that you might keep for life. Worst is when I start not going to lectures , the units become more complicating.

Marjon has a really strong community feel, and its smaller size is a big part of that. There’s a genuine mix of ages and interests, which comes through in the range of activities and spaces available — the Students’ Union, chapel, theatre, and sports centre are all close together and easy to access. If anything could improve, it would be greater financial support at a wider level (e.g., government funding), so the university could invest in hiring more staff and strengthening provision further.
