Overview
Plymouth Marjon University, commonly referred to as Marjon, is a university based primarily on a single campus on the northern edge of Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom. The university’s history dates back to the foundation by the National Society (now National Society for Promoting Religious Education) of the constituent London colleges of St John’s College in Battersea, London (1840) and St Mark’s College in Chelsea, London (1841). Formerly named University College Plymouth St Mark & St John, the institution was awarded full university status in 2012.
In 1991 the college became affiliated to the University of Exeter, which accredited it to run undergraduate and postgraduate programmes leading to degree awards of the University of Exeter, and in 2007, gained University College status. Plymouth Marjon University now awards its own undergraduate and taught postgraduate degrees, and maintains a strong relationship with the University of Exeter which continues to award research degrees to students of the university. The university has over 70 taught programmes of study with teaching informed by research. There are two faculties: Faculty of Education, Enterprise & Culture and Faculty of Sport, Health & Wellbeing.
