Welcome

Vibrant. Innovative. Fresh. Unique.

As a leading specialist multi-arts institution, University College Falmouth flies its flag high – a key player on the national and international creative scene. What you get here is different; an eye-opening perspective, an original way of thinking and a commitment to value and quality for all of our students built on 100 years of experience.

Our courses in art, design, media, performance and writing are widely known for inspiring our students to collaborate, create and think ambitiously in everything they do. Falmouth is an eclectic home for highly talented individuals from around the world and we’re very proud of that. These pages will give you a taste of what makes it so special here – but the best way
to discover it is to come and see for yourself!

On a global scale

Falmouth’s outward-looking stance has made it a popular choice for international students and the University College regularly welcomes students, academics and professionals from all over the world – from India to the USA, Japan to Norway. We also run numerous study trips and exchange programmes abroad.

No place like home

Instead of going away to study, more and more students from Cornwall, across a broad range of ages and backgrounds, are opting to study close to home. Why not take advantage of the creative expertise and multi-million pound investments in higher education that have been injected into your home county? By studying close to home, you could also:

• Graduate with less financial baggage by living at home, saving on rent and bills and keeping hold of existing part-time jobs
• Benefit from financial awards open to people with a Cornish address, including Cornwall Commuter awards (to help with transport costs) and the City of London award (a bursary to support Cornish students keen on attending a local university)
• Stay close to friends and family while getting stuck into the University College’s vibrant social calendar and making new friends from all over the world
• Benefit from graduate employment and business start-up schemes like Unlocking Cornish Potential

Open to all

University College Falmouth greets students from all walks of life. Whether you’re:

• Finishing school or college
• Considering a career change
• Looking to improve your academic qualifications
• Looking to add a qualification to your work experience
• The first person in your family thinking about going to university
• From another country and wanting to study in the UK
• Experiencing mobility, sensory or learning disabilities and want to study at a welcoming University College with a high level of support…

…We’d love to hear from you, whatever your qualifications and the route you’ve taken.
