More good news!🎉 We're proud to be the UK's No.1 university for first-generation students.

At Plymouth Marjon University, we believe talent is everywhere and opportunity should be too.

The latest Daily Mail University Guide has recognised Marjon as the UK's leading university for first-generation students, reflecting our commitment to helping people from all backgrounds access higher education and achieve their ambitions.

More than three quarters of our students are the first in their immediate family to attend university. Through personalised support, a close-knit community and a focus on student success, we're helping to transform lives through education.

Professor Claire Taylor, Vice-Chancellor, said:
"We are incredibly proud to be recognised as the UK's number one university for first-generation students. This achievement reflects our commitment to ensuring that opportunity is not determined by background and our belief that education has the power to transform lives, strengthen communities and create a fairer society."

This recognition reflects the ambitions of our Marjon 2030 strategy, which places student success, social mobility, health and wellbeing, and community impact at the heart of everything we do.

A huge thank you to our students, graduates, staff and partners who make the Marjon community such a special place.

We can't wait to meet you at this Saturday's Open Day! ✨

Choosing a university is about more than reading a prospectus or listening to a presentation. It's about finding somewhere that feels right.

This Saturday at Marjon Open Day, you'll have the chance to experience university life for yourself. Step inside our Open Classrooms, explore our specialist facilities, visit The Workshop and see where Journalism students create content, and get hands-on with our Open Labs.

If you're interested in Sport and Exercise Science or Football Science, you can take part in a guided course experience through our sports labs, discovering how you'll use each space throughout your degree.

Prospective students across a range of sport courses can also return later for Open Labs and chat with our specialist staff.

Whether you're interested in teaching, journalism, sport, health, business or the arts, there's something for everyone to explore.

Come and see. Come and ask questions. Come and imagine your future.
