Therapies postgraduate degrees

The staff as well as the students create a great environment that is supportive, safe and nurturing. The subjects taught are very relevant to the modern world. I appreciate that there’s class only 2 times a week, it frees us to do a lot of other activities. The location of the university is great for both bus and train travel. However I feel a sense of paranoia as I feel like I’m having more fun and free time than I should. It would be great if I could have more work to do during the week that’s related to academics. Just from comparing the schedules with other universities like Surrey Business School, where they have block classes for 2 weeks and then a short break for them to do assessments. They had assessments due in the 3rd week itself whereas it was after 2 months for us. Another thing I wanted to address was the points system in the refectory, 10 points is simply not enough for 3 full meals a day. I would suggest a change in the value of points or maybe have 14-15 points a day and maybe more during the weekends.

Everything is just up to the mark. The staff is to cooperative and the labs and buildings are cutting edge and modern. You have excess to every academic and practical you need to study as a master student.

The people are lovely. And if you ever have issues with someone the uni is quick to act. Uni at night feels safer with all the lights. Good food. Lots of clubs to join what are fun. Building close to early.

Campus life is engaging and fun if you're active; lots of choices of sports and social clubs. 3sixty club in campus is also one of best student clubbing experience I've had in the UK. Library is chic and comfortable with sufficient study spaces and books / online resource. Course content is interesting and inspiring but coursework is indeed demanding (if you are a good and hardworking student). Tutoring hours is not quite enough and most of the time you are expected to guide yourself through module content and problem solving. Disabilities support is available and of easy access but they could be reluctant to provided further assistance to students suffering from severe conditions or sudden accidents, and this could impact your studies to a large degree. However, if you are a healthy student with normal social life, it is not that difficult to graduate with a 2:1 or 1st with a bit of hard work whilst enjoying uni life.

It is overall a good Uni with lots of well funded resources and opportunities. To improve it would need to put a greater store in supporting its ND students and taking a more student centric view of its curriculum. It currently has a do or die survival of the fittest approach rather than building a framework for success and guiding students to prosper.

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

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.

Great buildings and location with great transport links to major cities. Being taught by people who are the best in that field and being able to contribute to their research at an early time in your studies. The tutorial system with very few people in classes making learning much more interactive.
