Plymouth Marjon University

The Students’ Union exists for many reasons. It is primarily an organisation that ensures all students are represented equally and fairly, offering advice to anyone who feels they are struggling with their course for a personal, academic or other reason. The Students’ Union also organises various social events throughout the year.

Students are encouraged to look at the wide range of clubs and societies offered by Marjon’s Students’ Union. These allow students to meet new people, make friends and unwind. Many different societies are available to choose from, covering topical interests, backgrounds or hobbies. Students are also welcome to start their own society with the SU’s support.

Accommodation is avilable on campus, there are seven halls of residence, and the accommodation team aim to place students in halls depending on the questionnaires they complete, ensuring they are with like-minded students. These include single-sex flats. There are also two purpose-built en-suite wet rooms.

The university’s campus is situated a little outside the centre of Plymouth, close to Dartmoor National Park. The regular bus service means it offers all the benefits of a campus university, close to some stunning countryside, but with all the amenities of a city just an easy and short journey away.

Plymouth is sometimes referred to as Britain’s Ocean City, with a fantastic and thriving waterfront and the incredible beaches of Devon and Cornwall nearby.

The waterfront is a hub of activity, including some fantastic restaurants to suit all budgets. And while the city and the region come to life during the warmer months when surfing and sailing are at their peak, there’s plenty to enjoy there during the cooler months too, including art galleries, theatre, cinema, and Drake Circus Shopping Centre.

Anyone who enjoys a night out will find plenty of bars and clubs to choose from, ranging from real ale taverns to dance clubs and live music venues.
