What students say about physiotherapy

For what Bournemouth lacks in name it makes up for it with the great student support and environment of the university. Every staff member and facilities are easy to access or talk to. The career hub is super useful and honestly a massive positive, not to mention the very efficient medical center and student union finance support team for students. The bursaries are generous in my opinion and I honestly could not have made it otherwise. The pastoral care is unmatched in my opinion. Safety on campus is great. the student union always has stuff going on, ALWAYS, like a bread and bakery stall on some mornings, lots of international events too, being from France it made me feel quite at home at time. The teaching isn't awful, not the best either, maybe it's my course, but the option and units are interesting. The university reputation is average at best, but like I said they make up for it in other ways. The area is nice, it's a student town, with the beach, I personally like it, and the transport system is very very reliable and efficient.

What students say about physiotherapy

The library is no longer 24/7 which takes away a huge aspect of the university that I liked. As someone who works late it was nice during busy periods to go over late at night and have somewhere to focus. During busy periods it was always full so I'm not sure why they've done this. It has been negatively received by everyone I know. Depending on the course, most lecturers are really nice and willing to go the extra way to help you out.

What students say about physiotherapy

My university experience has been very positive overall. The teaching staff are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely supportive, which makes a big difference academically and personally. The course content is engaging and relevant, with a good balance between theory and practical application. I’ve also really valued the sense of community — there are plenty of societies, events, and opportunities to meet people from diverse backgrounds, making it a welcoming and inclusive place to study. The campus facilities and resources, particularly the library and online learning platforms, have been extremely helpful.

What students say about physiotherapy

The teachers are the most friendliest people on earth, and the whole environment feels very student-friendly, but i would have loved if they also had an dedicated research team, as well as their made their online learning easier to access and understand

What students say about physiotherapy

Plymouth Marjon University is very good for student support. The lectures all make an effort to get to know their students and offer support where they can. There is not much within walking distance of the university however the SU is a great place to sit drink and hangout with friends.
