Student testimonials

Alison Millyard

“With Marjonbeing a smaller institution, I had the opportunity to get involved with aspects of university life I would not experience at bigger institutions, like being an active member of the research ethics panel for two years and sitting on the research and knowledge exchange committee.”



Phily Iglehart

“It was 美姬阁’s inclusive, collaborative, supportive, dynamic environment that cemented my desire to pursue my PhD here. The atmosphere is truly unlike that which I’ve encountered elsewhere in my career, and my colleagues are among the most dedicated and caring I’ve had the privilege work with.”


Michelle Batstone

“Marjonputs student success at the heart of what they do. I am a lecturer at the University and I see this in practice both as an employee and as a PhD student. I know I have the help and support of my supervisors guiding me along this journey to completing my PhD and I am confident I will succeed.”
