Plymouth is Growing – and So Are Its Universities!

Did you know Plymouth’s student population is set to grow by 22% over the next 15 years?

By 2040, more than 25,000 students will be studying at the city’s three universities — Arts

University Plymouth, Plymouth Marjon University, and the University of Plymouth.

One of the people helping to shape this exciting future is Professor Claire Taylor, Vice-

Chancellor of Marjon University. Claire, who became Vice-Chancellor in 2023, leads this

faith-based university — originally founded from the Anglican colleges of St Mark and St

John — with vision and energy.

Under her leadership, Marjon is developing new courses to meet the needs of a changing

world and strengthening its research work. The university has a strong reputation for high-

quality teaching and for preparing graduates who want to make a difference — especially in

tackling social inequality and serving the community.

You’re warmly invited to hear Professor Claire Taylor share her story and her vision for the

future of education and leadership in today’s fast-changing culture at Community Cafe on Satuday 6th December @ 10:30am!
