Sort:Latest reviewsBeautiful scenery, well set up campus. Friendly students and staff. Small scale uni that feels very inclusive and supportive
best aspect is the support for students, from free counselling, 24 hour support, and a great student union. the location has positives and negatives as it is nice to live in a fairly safe area, but it can be difficult to get into the centre of town especially later at night. I find it difficult that lots of the socials are based around sport, if you’re not into a sports team it can be a bit difficult to find your people and fit in.

Many places to study Good support team and SU
small class size make it feel a lot easier to ask questions and to make friends!
Very supportive and welcoming environment
The worst part has been adjusting to life away from home and the best part are the opportunities provided and meeting new people
A very social campus
Family. Nature
The community feel throughout the university is what pulls you in, it’s so friendly and welcoming. The support for students is endless and I even got diagnosed with dyslexia whilst being here which explains my past struggles in school! The student life could be improved vastly, I have emailed regarding a proposal for turning the canteen into a student night / club on weekends as I think that will bring so much more engagement throughout student nights!
Marjon campus is sandwiched between Dartmoor and the ocean city of Plymouth. This is great for any weekend trips to enjoy the stunning scenery. The university itself is a green campus often with deer roaming. There are loads of social opportunities such as sports teams and pub quizzes. Would highly recommend Marjon because of the community atmosphere where everyone thrives together.
i love the community feel of marjon, it’s a camps uni so everyone is close and knows each other. we have 24/7 study and hang out places as well as lots of on site accommodation.
The Marjon community is extremely welcoming and supportive. First years are made it feel at home through the support of their lecturers and the friendly atmosphere from all the staff on campus. There are plenty of jobs open to students on campus and opportunities to develop all sorts of skills through the range of societies they offer here. The Marjon campus is a short ride from the city so it is easily accessible, but you still feel safe and excluded enough when living on campus. In all honesty, the only way it could be improved is through expanding their laundry facilities.
It is a lovely small campus, it has a family feel and in lectures you feel like more than just a number. The student union could be improved. Barjon is always dead and there isn’t that much happening for students to socialise compared to some other universities
I am currently a first year student at Marjon. Being a mature student I was initially apprehensive about attending university and whether I would be able to fit in as an older student. I had no need to be fearful, everyone has been incredibly welcoming. The university has a really nice family feel to it, it is small enough so that you don't feel overwhelmed but has all the amenities that you would want from a university. The campus is laid out perfectly so that you dont get lost although if your are struggling to find where you need to be people are always happy to point you in the right direction. My course I a perfect mix of practical and lectures and the staff are all very knowledgeable and happy to go above and behind to help. I would definitely recommend Marjon and look forward to spending the next 4 years studying here.
Unfortunately the university has just announced they are making redundancies and closing down some courses. This is very disappointing news!

The people are so kind and really make it a community. All the lecturers are very passionate and it really reflects in their teaching.
It prepares you very well for the real world and you are given very many opportunities to get experience.
The shared areas could have more space, it’s difficult to fit around 9 people.
