  • Plymouth Marjon University awards PhDs in collaboration with the University of Chichester and we follow their higher degree regulations here.

The institutions will provide students with appropriate learning resources, equipment and facilities specific to the subject areas of study, including:

  • borrowing rights at the library
  • IT access
  • membership of the Students’ Union/Guild
  • entitlement to use the Sports Facilities
  • access to generic skills training programmes

Any complaints will be dealt with by the lead university in accordance with its regulations. Where the complaint concerns the second university, written notification will be sent promptly to that institution. Ultimate responsibility to resolve complaints will rest with the lead university.

Where individual Modules/Units are taken by students with a party other than the lead university, the mark awarded by the host institution will be accepted by the lead university. Where necessary, the scaling model as agreed by the SWDTP Academic Advisory Board will be used by the lead university to adjust marks where appropriate.
