About us

At Marjon, you’re more than just a number — you’re part of a close-knit community that knows your name, supports your growth and celebrates your success. Located in the vibrant city of Plymouth with the coast and countryside on our doorstep, we combine outstanding teaching with a warm, inclusive environment.

We’re proud to be Gold-rated for teaching (TEF, 2023), which means you’ll be learning from inspiring academics who bring their subjects to life. We’re also ranked Top 3 in England for Student Satisfaction (Complete University Guide, 2025), showing how much our students value the experience here.

But life here is about more than just lectures. You’ll make friends for life and shape your own path — whether that’s through joining a sports team, launching a club or society, becoming a Student Ambassador, or leading change within our community.

There’s nothing like seeing it for yourself, though — join us on Saturday 21st June for our Open Day and discover why so many students love Marjon.

What makes us different

Rooted in history. Driven by purpose. Focused on your future. Marjon is a place of community and opportunity.

Founded in the 1840s with a mission to widen access to education, we’ve grown into a modern university that’s deeply connected to its community and focused on creating real-world impact.

We offer degrees that lead to meaningful careers in the public, community and private sectors. Our students don’t just get qualifications — they gain confidence, connections and the skills to shape the world around them. That’s why we’re Top 5 in the UK for Career Prospects (Whatuni Choice Awards, 2024), and why our graduates are in demand.

At Marjon you’ll get:

  • Personalised support — from tutors who know you and back you.
  • Opportunities that matter — like hands-on placements and community projects. You can also become a Student Ambassador or Marjon Student Colleague and earn while you learn.
  • A student experience that’s yours to shape — with societies for every passion, from football to photography.
