Plymouth Marjon University is an excellent place to study. My favourite aspect of being a student here is the support from staff, both lecturers and the wider university team, who have made my experience the best it can be. I’ve always felt able to reach out, whether that’s talking to course leaders and lecturers or booking an appointment with Student Support or the Futures team. Marjon makes you feel part of a community, not just a number. When I need time to focus, I know that there is a place for me to go on campus. The library has always had spaces for me to study and feel productive. One area that could be improved is the facilities for smaller courses. While students in Sports, Health and Wellbeing, or Education courses benefit from expert resources, those of us on smaller programmes sometimes have fewer dedicated facilities. That said, I’ve never felt disadvantaged thanks to the amazing staff, who consistently go above and beyond to make my experience valuable. There have been highs and lows during my time at Marjon, but I’m proud to say that I am a Marjon student. It’s a university that truly values its students.

My course is exceptional. We cover various aspects of English as well as preparing for life after university. I have been able to take modules on topics such as Literary theory, Sociolinguistics, Digital Literature, and so much more. We meet multiple times a week on campus which helps to foster a feeling of community on my course that I'm not sure I would have got on other courses or at other universities. My favourite part of my course is the fact I get to have a lot more contact time with my lecturers. I have always been able to reach out to them (either virtually or in person) if I've had a question or an idea I wanted to explore further. My programme lead has always empowered me to follow my instincts and interests which I am not sure I would have done without their support. Even though my course at Marjon is much smaller and therefore doesn't have the same level of facilities, I have never felt like I missed out on anything. My knowledge has continued to grow, and if I have never needed access to resources or support during my time here, the lecturers on my course have always found a way to make it possible. Taking this course at Marjon with the expert staff has reignited my love for the subject and education in general. I know that in the future when I continue my studies, I will always remember the impact this course had on me.
