PGCE Primary

Plymouth Marjon University

Student support is amazing, the lecturers here all genuinely care and want you to achieve highly while you’re at Marjon. The campus is beautiful and you know everyone, which really gives it that community feel. The well-being services could be slightly improved.

Best aspects is that i am loving my course and the people i have met. The worst aspects are the additional costs like parking

I've had a good experience at university at the moment as it's in such a nice area and easy to get into the city centre (about 40 minutes). And the people are lovely and helpful and there are dogs

I like that it’s small and close knit community and not overwhelming with people and the staff are lovely and supportive

I love studying here because it has such a close nit/family feel as when walking around you will constantly see people you know and people will happily stop to help you if you are struggling with something. For my course, I have absolutely loved that it is primarily seminars and experiential learning rather than sat in lecture theatres, however this isn't for all courses. The main buildings, and the accommodation, aren't the most well looked after, for example on the outsides the paint is peeling and it does look rusty, and in the accommodation there is mould in the bathrooms, also for halls of residence with en-suites, there is no window in these en-suites which I think would be beneficial. Overall, I love being at Marjon, the sports facilities are amazing, I am part of the netball society which is a lot of fun, even though the 1st team is the only team in BUCS, all the teams play competitive matches in the Plymouth District Netball League, and there is pretty much a society for everything so everyone can be involved. Our SU is amazing, they host an annual ball every May and are just overall very supportive and create loads of amazing opportunities, previously we had a Marjon's got talent that anyone could enter, the prize for the winner was money that went to their society so it was very competitive, and they sold out the tickets and it was such a lovely environment.
