Plymouth Marjon University continues to climb league tables today as the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide is published. The University ranked 75th in the UK, climbing 40 places in five years.
The Times and The Sunday Times have produced university guides since 1993 and 1998 respectively. Since 2013, they have published a combined Good University Guide to provide the most comprehensive guide to higher education in Britain.
The list is based on an analysis of student satisfaction with teaching quality and their student experience, entry standards, research quality, sustainability and graduate prospects. Since 2018 the guide also includes social inclusion rankings for universities in England and Wales, with a separate table for Scottish rankings. The tables are based on key measures to reflect the diversity of their intake and subsequent success when attending university.
Plymouth Marjon scored highly in a number of areas, including no. 2 in England for Social Inclusion, no. 3 in the UK for Teaching Quality, top 4 in the UK for Disabled Students, and climbed 26 places in Graduate Prospects. Three key subject areas at Marjon scored highly too, with Education (Student Experience) scoring 91 per cent, and Sports Science (Student Experience) scoring 89 per cent.
