Postgraduate courses
Our postgraduate students are amongst the most satisfied in the UK. Marjon ranked third out of 68 UK institutions for overall satisfaction in the latest Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES 2020) which asks students about their learning and teaching experience.
Postgraduate courses are ideal if you enjoyed a subject at undergraduate level and you want to explore it further or to develop fresh perspective, new skills, new contacts to enable you to stand out and move forward in your career.
Teaching is typically through a blend of learning including small seminars and tutorials, online learning, hands-on lab or practical research, placements or work based projects, couped with a significant element of independent study.
We run postgraduate courses from our Plymouth campus and we continuing professional development for educational professionals at Marjon University Cornwall in Truro. We also now offer two distance learning courses.
