Overview
Consistently outstanding results for teaching quality, student support and student experience in the National Student Survey speak volumes about student life at Plymouth Marjon University. Students are a name not a number here; an undergraduate intake of around 800 a year allows for greater individual attention and a comprehensive support network. Students enrol on work-focused courses, many with placement opportunities, and each student is assigned a personal development tutor, who runs a series of group and one-to-one sessions throughout the year to help students work on their future plans. Marjon was founded as a teacher training college more than 180 years ago and is still strong in this area, while rapidly expanding its nursing and healthcare provision, too. Work is underway on a new Health Education and Community Wellbeing Hub, which will expand a successful model of developing student-led programmes in community settings, bringing benefits to both students and the local population. A tight course portfolio of just 41 subjects at undergraduate level also includes a significant number of sport options. Sporting brains breed sporting bodies: Marjon punches well above its weight in inter-university sports competitions.

Paying the bills
Students in financial difficulties can call on Marjon's hardship fund, which disbursed £110,000 in 2022-23. There is no maximum number of awards and students can apply for them in more than one year. They are made based on a percentage value of the evidenced need. Students who have been in care qualify for an annual grant of £2,000, with a £1,000 grant offered to those who are estranged from their parents. Sport performance scholarships are worth up to £4,000 a year in cash and support services in kind. There is further support available to help cover travel and subsistence costs incurred on teacher training and other placements. Overall, around one in ten students benefit from university financial support. There are more than 450 places provided in student accommodation, and last year the university was able to allocate rooms to all first-years who wanted one. Prices in the new academic year begin at £4,830 for a standard 42-week contract, rising to a maximum of £7,266 for 42 weeks.

What's new?
Work began in April on Marjon's new Health Education and Community Wellbeing Hub, a £5.8m investment in advancing healthcare training and courses at the university; addressing regional workforce shortages; and broadening Marjon's healthcare offer to the local community via clinics which will give students placement experience in a live health environment. Work on the repurposing of the former Peninsula Allied Health Centre is due to be completed in spring 2025. It will include new clinical skills, diagnostic and simulation laboratories. Early evidence of the boom in nursing and allied health professions courses that is expected to follow completion can be seen in the addition of three new degree apprenticeships - in physiotherapy, wbc247가입 speech and language therapy, and public health - which will see their first learners start in September 2025.

Admissions, teaching and student support
Marjon has discontinued contextual offers that recognise social, personal and educational disadvantage, arguing that 'most of [its] intake meets one widening participation criteria'. With this being the case, the argument for needing further mechanisms to diversify the student intake is considerably weaker. The university concentrates instead on supporting its diverse student population after enrolment. Personal development tutors support all students through any difficulties during university and with the onward shaping of their careers. Marjon also provides extensive work experience and placement learning; one-to-one meetings in the first term with Marjon's employability team; and online support in acquiring transferable skills and dealing with the practicalities of job applications. Wider assistance with mental health and wellbeing is provided by a coalition of chaplains, the students' union and university wellbeing and support staff. Students are usually seen on the day they seek help, and the number of counselling or therapy sessions provided reflects an individual student's needs and is not limited to one cycle of treatment. All academic staff take a postgraduate certificate in academic practice which includes basic training on welfare and is specific to Marjon. All students must complete an online module prior to enrolling that covers sexual consent and racial, sexual and social tolerance.
