Plymouth Marjon University.
They're a proper UK university in Plymouth with full degree-awarding powers. They accredit our MA Creative Practice, which means when you graduate, you get an actual Masters degree from them - not a certificate, not a "diploma," but the real thing at Level 7.
What does that actually mean for you?
Three things:
1. It's a real Masters degree. You can use the qualification to apply for jobs, further study (like PhDs), or anything else that requires a Masters. No asterisks, no "but it's from..." conversations. It's accredited by a UK university that's been around since 1840.
2. You're eligible for student finance. Because it's a properly accredited UK Masters, you can apply for a government student loan . You only pay it back in instalments once you're earning over a certain threshold.
3. Quality assurance without the bureaucracy. Marjon ensures the academic standards are met - external examiners, annual reviews, all that proper university stuff - while we (Make Happen Institute) actually deliver the teaching. You get the structure and credibility of a traditional university degree with our Act-Ship-Debrief methodology instead of lectures and a dissertation.
We're the teaching institution. They're the awarding institution. You get the best of both.
