Sort:Latest reviewsA very close-knit community with lots on whether it be sport, open days, or fairs, for example. Location is slightly out of the way but regular buses make up for this. Perhaps a further discount on transport. Permits accepted for placement terms, but parking is very limited.
Best part is the social life, every one is very inclusive at uni. Worst for me is the accommodation, unfortunately I was paired with some incredibly unhygienic people, so bad that I had to move.

First gen student
For me personally, choosing a university that was close to home and easy to commute to was a priority. I wanted to recieve the best support and education in order for me to be the best teacher I could be. Therefore, it was a no-brainer that Marjon was the university for me. The facilities are really good for me personally. I don't participate in typical 'student life' so cannot comment on that front but I know that the student bar on campus do lots of events that are run by the student union.
General size and feel of the uni is perfect but it does feel a little bit lacking in terms of scientific equipment.
The student support is great. I think they need more counsellors because the waiting list is long, but I think overall they are very helpful and accommodating. I think student life could be improved with more societies and clubs outside of sport.
Student life is expensive. More job opportunities within the university or tips on how to manage money would be grand. Course is great.
It’s a small uni but it’s far from town
There is a wide range of facilities to allow for a wide range of sports to be played. The sporting communities at Marjon are welcoming and supportive. Parking for the university is limited. They could have student only parking areas to assist with this.
Started off incredible student support but in my final year I feel very isolated from support.
Plymouth Marjon University is a fantastic place to study! The support from all the lecturers has been incredible, they are so passionate about Nursing and will support you throughout your studies because they want to see you achieve great things. The University campus is much smaller than others however for me, this is what I love. There is a real community family feel and all staff and students across the campus are really helpful. There are loads of other services in place to help and support you through your degree programme. At Plymouth Marjon University, you aren't treated as a number and the University cares for you as a whole.
The location is a bit out of town, which is annoying for the commute; however, the facilities are perfectly fine and I have found that the student support is one of the best aspects of life here.
Numerous opportunities to get involved with extra curricular clubs and activites.
It’s a smaller university, which doesn’t make it feel as daunting when leaving your 6th form or college.
Great people and great support
Marjon University is set in a beautiful location by the sea in the historic city of Plymouth. The campus is relatively small which serves to provide an atmosphere that feels very close knit. The Lecturers on the sport therapy course are experienced, professional and friendly. There are a few things that could be improved, such as improving some of the out-dated facilities at the clinic and gym.
The uni is a small campus, well maintained with amenities on site. The chaplaincy is a lovely place to hang out and your well-being is prioritised here. It’s a friendly place, lovely grounds too. The student union are very proactive. There is always something on to do/attend.
Being in a smaller cohort makes the experience feel so much more personal. It enables more direct support from lecturers as well as the University as a whole. Student life could be improved, having a smaller cohort and being slightly out of the centre means there’s potential to grow.
The small university allows for a better connection between you and the uni. Help is always easy to get and campus is pretty easy to navigate. The campus is not anywhere endear the city centre which is not ideal but that can’t be helped.
The best part is that you are known as a student and not just as a number

The students are all really supportive. There are numerous clubs and plenty to choose from. Because it is a smaller university it feels more close knit where everyone knows each other. As it is away from the city center it feels less busy as well.
The lectures are mostly all in person with the occasional one online. The lecturers are readily available to answer any questions throughout class or within emails. Course hours vary each term as during one term you may have a mixture of placement and lectures or just lectures or placement.
The value for what I got was good, the university covered all of the bills and if anything was broken from what they provided us it was replaced/fixed quickly.
