Falmouth University was founded as the Falmouth School of Art in 1902, and was formerly known as Falmouth College of Art and Design and then Falmouth College of Arts. When it was granted degree-awarding powers in 2005, the school received official university status a few years later. In 2008, University College Falmouth merged with Dartingon College of Arts. The university specializes in education for the creative industries. It offers a wide range of degree programmes. The school is located in Penryn and Falmouth, with Penryn being the larger of the two campuses. It is operated in partnership with the University of Exeter. The campuses facilitate state-of-the-art facilities and the latest equipment, in order to provide the perfect learning environment for its students. The university received TEF Gold which is awarded to institutions that consistently deliver outstanding teaching, learning and outcomes for their students. Falmouth University provides its students with the best education possible, but it goes the extra mile, by giving them guidance and advice on their future career choices. It also runs regular employability events, which have proven to be a great stepping stone into the working world. 97% of Falmouth students are in employment or further study within 6 months after graduation.
Could definitely push students harder, more work load to maintain engagement with the course. Mainly remote due to pandemic, we were the ‘guinea pigs’ for remote education. More concentration on the technical side instead of the artistic side.

View moreFalmouth University is a University that prides itself on its’ safe and welcoming approach to education and the community overall. I have found that The Accessibility team are especially very active and supportive in providing ILPs and other amenities. I also found that, in terms of the Creative writing department, most tutors are very hands on with their approach to teaching, always being available for extra support where it is needed, either via teams or in person.

The positive thing here is students can choose their field of study independently. For instance, If you want to make a game with different engine and concepts, the new methodologies are always supported by our tutors. There will be mentors assigned to each student to cope with their daily struggles in the course. Overall, I love my course.
