About Plymouth | UKSDN Conference 2017

Plymouth Marjon University (formerly The University of St Mark & St John) is located in Plymouth, Devon. The city is packed with character and charm and delegates may enjoy waterside dining at the Barbican or the Royal William Yard. Or if you love the great outdoors then it’s a short trip to Dartmoor National Park or to the beach. With transport links by road and rail, the University of St Mark & St John is easily accessible to those travelling to the conference and on-site parking is available.

The Venue

The conference will be based at our vibrant green and self-contained campus. It takes just minutes to walk between the sports centre, lecture theatres, teaching rooms, restaurant, shop and accommodation.

The Plymouth Marjon University is ranked 4th best University in the UK for sports facilities by Times Higher Education (THE).
