Really great
Very supportive university staff
I love Marjon as it’s a great place to enhance my knowledge of what I’m already studying as well as having fun with friends. Wi-Fi could be a bit better!
WiFi for study and gaming network could be improved.

Great uni with a fantastic community feel. Only downside is it's a bit far from the city centre and shops but great bus links and public transport to solve this issue! So not really a problem.

Plymouth Marjon has great facilities for students both staying on campus and those who stay at home, including an area for those wanting to practice their religion whilst away from home and an area for working 24/7 and a shop on campus for those who cannot always go out to buy food. We have small class sizes for those who want to have their voice heard in lessons and friendly, helpful lecturers on courses.
I don’t study Music Theatre by the way, I study Music Composition for Film & Tv but I couldn’t put that in. I think overall the facilities are one of the best attributes at dBs. Also, getting to know people that are on your course and not even on your course is very fun, it has been increasing my confidence and living in a city such as Bristol is great for networking.

I’ve loved my uni experience so far at Marjon’s, moving into halls I’ve made so many fantastic friends and on my course. The course it’s self has been wonderful and the lectures have been so supportive with many aspects. I couldn’t fault any of the staffing team at Marjon, everyone you meet is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable.! Plymouth is a lovely area with so much to do so you’re never left bored. With easy transport links it’s not too hard to get anywhere.! There is always lots going on at campus as well to keep you entertained and lots of sport to go and watch.

The classes are so small so the lecturers really do know who you are and provide all the support you ask for, and reply to queries so quickly! Increasing the number of societies and more veggie/vegan options in the shop and hub
The Student Union is a perfect representation of uni life and is exceptional with their supports for the universities’ students. As Marjon is a smaller scale university, there is always access to a member of staff or facility if needed which is great for students.
It is a small university, allowing you to get to know more people. However, the student social ON campus isn’t great or very lively. However, BUCS Wednesdays are always great.
So far during this year I have experienced a multitude of events both good and bad. However I must admit my experience has been largely good as I have received help from my PDT(personal development tutor) and the futures team around certain issues. Not to mention the staff here have lead me in the correct direction since day 1 when I’ve been lost.
Positive and supportive teaching staff- always giving us constructive feedback. Able to get support quickly and effectively. Lectures are great, good detail and support
Overall experience has been great, and most people have been really friendly. I've enjoyed my lectures, and I love how varied it is. I have also enjoyed the social aspect as well.


Atmosphere and the community
Fab team - so supportive! They care!
