Falmouth University (reviews)

Overall, I had a great time at Falmouth University. I enjoyed using the facilities and the library. Everything was very accessible and made easy to understand.
If you are looking for a sing subject degree, it’s a great place to go, everything is taught in depth and the teachers are nice and accomodating. However, if you’re looking for a joint degree, I’d have to discourage you as the organisation, communication and feedback system were severely lacking . Before I left they were looking to improve all of the mentioned issues, so things might be better now.
Additionally, it was obvious when teachers had a bias.
I also personally dealt with discrimination by one of the teachers and once she left my grades improved drastically which is what confirmed the bias theory to me.

Despite the few negatives, I enjoyed all the modules we studied. I learned a lot and am applying most of it to my current job and in my personal hobbies.

For myself, I was on the BA Drawing course and found that I wasn’t 100% sure that I would do the same course again. I appreciated a lot of aspects of the course – the unit content was interesting and built a wider perspective on the subject matter. It was also great to have a community of people that were like-minded on the subject, but then again that could be said of any place – it’s not exclusive to Falmouth University.

Some of the tutors were great and very clear and helpful, but some of them weren’t as much. I found that a lot of the marking criteria was very vague and a lot of the time it could be difficult to gauge what could be done to improve my work. Often times I would also have contradictory opinions on this from different tutors, which was very frustrating. I was consistently told not to even consider grades in my practise, however it was difficult to do this in a practical, functioning in the outside world kind of way. There was also minimal support when it came to finding jobs after university.

The University of Falmouth is one of the most prestigious in England. The teachers as well as the entire training program are at an extremely high level. There, a person gets the necessary knowledge and opportunities for development in his chosen special. I strongly recommend it!

The course leaders are very helpful and always wanting to give adivce as much as the tutors are. I’m able to study and get help with anything I have problems with, if there is something I don’t understand I am usually able to get help from teachers. There are also supervised one to one sessions which help, I get good advice and I get to show my work I’ve done.

Your university is so much more than just the place you study; it is the place you make some of your fondest memories, where you meet people that will walk through the rest of life your with you, the place where you will learn just what you are capable of. Your university should be your home.

That’s exactly what Falmouth University is, Falmouth University is home.

Despite pushing you when you need it the most, lecturers and support staff truly understand what it means to live a balanced and holistic life. From interview to graduation, they are invested in getting to know students on an academic level, but a personal one to what makes them tick, their motivations, hobbies, and areas of concern. This outlook, s so unique to Falmouth and nurtures creativity like no other University I applied for.

Currently, I am in my second year studying Journalism and Creative Writing at Falmouth and I don’t have a bad word to say – and not only because I live within walking distance to the Stunning south Cornish coastline and get to learn on a campus resembling a tropical jungle!
I have had the opportunity to explore all sectors of my subject extensively. Through hands-on workshops, I am learning and establishing the areas I enjoy and the areas in which I excel. My interests have been nurtured by the lecturers and I am currently in the process of applying for summer internships at household names such as: ‘BBC Good Food.

Something so unique about Falmouth is the way you learn. Staff spend teaching you not what to think, but instead how to think. How to form well-rounded opinions and put media out into the world that is well rounded and uniquely yours. The Focus is on using your voice to fill the gaps in the industry of your choice. This, in my opinion, is far more valuable and enjoyable than countless hours of learning and reciting theory. You get a real sense of accomplishment and take a proactive role in mapping out your future.

If you want your University to be more than just your University, if you want your University to be your home, Falmouth might just be the place for you.

Falmouth university has enabled me to expand my skills and put my knowledge into practice while studying the Business and Digital Marketing course. I have been able to do paid Internships which helped me gain experience first hand and have had constant support from my lecturers. I have never felt left behind in my studies or confused by my work as the lecturers are always there to help me when needed. The campus has helpful facilities which are open 24/7, and a friendly and welcoming group of people. The only improvement I would suggest is having a more diverse and larger variety of courses as there is only 3 business courses I was able to chose from, however there is a large variety of art courses.

This university is located in the picturesque county of Cornwall, and alongside the study, the living atmosphere is simply fabulous.
While the university excels massively in creative areas, there can be shortfalls in other areas of education.
While creativity is encouraged, practical application can sometimes be neglected.
Still, an undoubtedly character-shaping university that has produced many admirable alumni.

Studying film at Falmouth is a great experience. The professors are highly knowledgable and helpful, the environment itself is really inspiring with the amount of modern facilities that are here. It really makes you want to do better.
