Health and Medicine degrees in Plymouth

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.

Generally a great collection of faculty and always researching for ways to be more sustainable and inclusive. could be better in providing resources for students in healthcare degrees as career development opportunities are all surrounding corporate career

I like that Marjon is a small uni, it gives me the opportunity to have that 1 to 1 with my lecturer especially when I’m in crisis. I also love the feel of community at Marjon, because it’s so small I can have a real impact on the community. However, I have a difficulty within student support. I put in an EC for one of my assignments but, it wasn’t accepted until 2 working days after the extended deadline even though I followed it up twice.
