A warm welcome to 2026 from Vice-Chancellor Professor Claire Taylor

Plymouth Marjon University is proud to look back on an exceptional year of achievements in 2025, and to look ahead with excitement at what 2026 will bring for our students, partners, and community.

Last year reinforced our position as a centre of excellence in UK higher education. Marjon was ranked:

These national accolades reflect the dedication of our academic teams and our commitment to ensuring every student thrives.

Those visiting our Open Days this year will have the chance to experience our new Health & Wellbeing Hub, a major investment in innovative teaching and student learning.

The centre includes augmented and virtual reality spaces, alongside industry‑leading specialist equipment already used within our sports facilities - including by the Plymouth Argyle Women’s team. These cutting-edge spaces support students across nursing, allied health, and sport, offering new ways to learn through immersive and applied experiences.

At Marjon, student success is at the heart of everything we do. Here, students are more than just a number, they are valued members of a close-knit, supportive community.

If you or someone you know is considering studying with us, you can find details of upcoming Open Days and events on our website, including our Postgraduate Open Evening on 5 February.

For those supporting applicants directly: if you know a student who needs help with a late application, our admissions team is here to support, there is still time to apply.

Whether you’re planning to study with us, exploring your options, returning as an alumnus, or are part of the Plymouth community, you are always welcome on campus. Come and enjoy our facilities, attend events, or discover what’s new at Marjon.

We can’t wait to welcome you in 2026, and we wish you every success for the year ahead.
