Marjon鈥檚 individual approach to students is demonstrated in the assessment and feedback section, where 86% agreed that they 鈥渞eceived helpful comments on my work鈥�, significantly ahead of the sector at 74%.
Marjon鈥檚 longstanding expertise in teacher training was evident, with high results in BEd Primary Education (98%); BEd Secondary Education with Physical Education (100%) and the Foundation degree in Teaching and Learning which achieved 100% satisfaction. Sport and Health courses also performed well with Sport and Exercise Science reaching 96% satisfaction, Speech and Language Therapy scoring 95%, Sport Development reaching 93%, and Rehabilitation in Sport and Exercise reaching 91%. The Journalism course achieved 92% satisfaction, as Marjon prepares to open a workshop for these students on the BBC campus from September 2019, enabling journalism students to work alongside BBC staff.
