Since its inception, the sports department at Plymouth Marjon University has consistently provided outstanding support to elite athletes who have gone on to achieve great things. Many of our current students and alumni have competed on the world stage at impressive levels, securing Olympic gold medals, taking British and European championship titles and competing at the Commonwealth Games. 

With a huge range of sport and health science courses on offer and an enviable location in the beautiful South West, it’s little wonder that promising young sportsmen and women come to Plymouth Marjon University, with funds and support available to help them to achieve their sporting dreams.
