444 Plymouth Marjon University (St Mark & St John) reviews

By scheduling industry professional seminars, also some modules are based around this idea. Also by offering constant study support opportunities that allow us to expand our knowledge on this subject.

I like the hands on practical approach to sessions the most and I dislike the time spent teaching the academic and written parts to the modules the least.

I think it's great, Im less involved because I spend most of my spare time working on my modules or personal things

They are excellent, we have some outstanding equipment

Bristol is a great and diverse city that offers unparalleled opportunities for music people

They are very good and offer something for everyone

The support is outstanding, we are constantly reminded of the study support as well as student support which is a great help not just for your work but also for life in general

More work experience

The teaching is thorough and I have amazing resources available The hours are hard as I commute

Blody Good Bristol is the best in the UK

Very busy to go to a club

Excellent

- Practical skills learned in studio's: recording techniques, mixing and mastering with hardware - Technician internships - Modules focused on building a portfolio, skills audit etc.

Staff are friendly and engaging. Module content isn't always perfectly clear from the start.

I'm not aware of our students union (dBs Music bristol)

Excellent

Lots to occupy yourself with, but can escape easily enough to the countrysife

There hasn't been much in the way of clubs and societies as we are a small centre

Very good

Giving students professional advice, such as how to work to deadlines or where to look for work/different avenues the course can take you, helps students understand the possibilities their course can give them.

A lot of skills are learnt, ranging from written skills and aural, to studio recording techniques and production tips. More feedback could be given on students work, and a less extensive written aspect could be incorporated

The University have no notified me on the student union

very good, 1 of the best in the country, if not the EU, however, faults can be found this the equipment and technicians are sometimes unavailable to help.

very vibrant, full of activities and things to see and places to visit. the food ranges from different countries and covers a lot of territory,

interesting and friendly, welcoming everyone and there is something for everyone in Bristol, guaranteed.

not enough tutor sessions and not as much feedback given as there should be, a little too autonomous and the university expects you to make mistakes and learn on your own a little too much

Has lots of work placements for some courses.

Awful, everything broke all the time and our halls were falling apart. When it was windy a part of Hudson fell off and hit another building. If a person was in the way they would have been seriously injured. Clark roofs were falling apart and water was leaking into rooms. There was also a large infestation of silverfish in most halls.

Looks good on the outside and for popular courses it is. For others not so much.

Miles away, expensive taxis and mostly dead or expensive clubs.

They say they will fund anything but they won't fund anything at all

Took month to hear anything about the support then didn't even get anything.

Right from the beginning this course offers a wide range of opportunities for work experience, interns and paid work. It appears they allow a number of companies, venues organisations to contact them with a range of skill developing opportunities for hands on work.

Pros . Lots of enphasis on 1 to 1 support . Facilities are exceptional . Each lesson is be backed up with moduel resourses to refer to. . Lots of focas on experimentalism . Plenty of inspirational guest lectures Cons, . Too few books in the dbs centre, library, to go round. . Not enough music theory. .

It is open and available for everone to have their say/input.

Exceptional. Only area in need of improvement, in my oppinion, would be the library.

Bristol has a massively diverse music culture. I think its exciting for anybody new to the city.

I believe there are too few.

Really good. Understanding and empaphetic.

My uni course trains in most areas I wish to work in and sends out opportunities to us to help get better experience and more training. Gives us great advice, realistic attitudes and phenomenal encouragement. I love my uni and course, wouldn't change it for the world.

I like mostly that it is practically taught. I least like that when we are asked to do so much rehearsal, research and practical work, whilst having to do academic work alongside. Not a big deal though. It's alright.

I think my uni's Student Union is good. The offer great stuff, huge support, equal opportunities and good events. I don't get involved much, which I really should. I do want to get involved more, just want and need to find time and to possibly make time for the Student Union. Still, I support it anyway.

They are good. Got a good 24hr games room. Nice canteen. Lovely library for sources and concentration for essays and research. The theatre is magnificent to work in, so much space and freedom and we got another studio and prop and costume department. It's gold.

Brilliant. Lots of things to go and see and be apart with. Theatre Royal and Barbican Theatre is cool. Lovely places to eat and lots of fun places to party. Got some good weather sometimes but lovely to explore.

Well I'm not in any society or club. Only at the gym. Does sound good the societies and clubs, wish I could join, but I would struggle to fit that in with uni and work. But gym is good to keep up with my fitness.

Support academically and councilling is major here at uni. Brilliant people supporting us all throughout everything. Glad they are here and for me to be here.

Being that I'm on an acting course, work placements are hard to find. So outside employment is thoroughly encouraged, contrary to most drama schools.

It's a good solid mix of theatre creation and theatre practice, the latter being directed performance. Our lecturers are the most helpful and understanding ive ever had the fortune to be taught by. The only problem is the lack of space, a whole other building with studios would be a godsend.

I'm not really involved with the SU because i dont really have much of an opinion on issues within the uni outside of the drama department.

From my point of view, slightly lacking. We need more space as a department, especially if the uni wants to start up this musical theatre course. What we have is good, but we need more realistically.

Not half bad really. Its expensive, but it is liveable. I come from the country so its different living in the city.

I can't say i'm part of any societies or clubs, so i cant comment.

Academic is amazing, some of the best teaching ive ever had. The counselling is certainly punctual and ive heard very good things from people that have recieved it. The finacial department however is an absolute shambles. My girlfriend applied for the hardship bursary due to the fact that her student finance was taking a year and a day, and the finance department and the student support department batted it back between them for a month. This NEEDS to be addresses.

Careers department - futures Lecturers are good at presenting opportunities

We have very few lectures where there is no physical/ movement involved. The lecturers are also excellent and very approachable. I don't like anything the least

Its okay - just never really appealed - I don't live on campus or drink

Very good

Friendly enough

Good for everyone - theres none that feel as though they exclude others

The tutor system we have is very helpful for feedback and support, both work related and not
