it is a really homey and welcoming uni, everyone is friendly and due to its smaller size you feel more connected
The university is accessible for me and I find that it has a small connected vibe which really helps to not feel massively overwhelmed. I am a mature student and I found the students and staff, friendly and approachable during my transition back into education. I feel like some facilities need re visiting but this doesn't affect my overall experience at the university.
it is small and easy to access everywhere that is needed in a day more planned support within the course
The staff members on my course are unbelievably supportive. Whenever an issues arises they are always there to listen and guide you in the best way possible.
Best aspect is that it's small classes and so you have alot of time to interact with your lectures and build a better understanding of your course. Also there are plenty of opportunities to join societies! Worst aspect is living off campus is abit tough as getting the bus in is annoying and paying for paying on sight is a ridiculous.

The lecturers and staff are really friendly and approachable. I know that they are there to support my development to become a Primary School Teacher. The lecturers are all so passionate about the content they deliver.
The sport It’s far from city centre so more difficult for nights out

Quality of everything seems to be going down over the three years.
The location of the campus is good for people that drive however can be hard to access for people who do not. The atmosphere around the uni is great however it would be good if their were more options in terms of food.
I feel the standard of the facilities is great! The location is a downfall with the uni being so out of the way, but we’ve learned to live with it. I feel because of this, parking should be free but it is still very overpriced.
The teaching staff are amazing but I’ve run into some problems with the uni itself. I’ve had quite a few unhelpful experiences with reception and student finances as well as some poor choices made by student support that affected me very negatively in my first year. However, the teaching staff on my course have been very helpful and supported me when I’ve reached out. I just wish I received more support from the uni last year when I had to complete a part time course but was given misleading information by finance and registry.

Marjon is a great place to study as all staff are very welcoming, helpful and supportive. The location is very easy to get to through public transport which is perfect when I need quiet time to study and complete assignments in the library.
Facilities are top of the range, the student life is okay the campus is a bit out of the way however there are busses running all the time, the student support will help you wherever they can 24/7
The best is the teaching team who are amazing, supportive and knowledgeable. Also location for me as its eays to get to from the a38 after a long commute, not not too much traffic.
Marion’s small community makes it a unique place to study.
Everyone is welcoming, and it's a small campus but people are there if your stuck and lecturers are easy to find
I have loved my time at uni so far. The uni was welcoming during freshers and made it a great experience for all with the numerous events that took place during that period. In terms of student support, I have been able to receive fantastic support from the finance team involving funds for rent.
Communication could be more consistent and regular.
I am a mature student so can’t vouch for the social aspect of Marjon’s but as an educational setting it is outstanding. Brilliant facilities and amazing tutors. My only negative feedback is that sometimes there is not consistency between tutors regarding assignment rules such as word counts or presentation.


Really friendly lecturers and staff, the uni is small but is perfect if you want a more community based experience :)
All of the lecturers are kind and understanding, they make lectures interesting and fun! I do wish that for year two that there was more opportunity to pick the modules that we’re doing and to have less online learning (we had more during semester a).
