Student review [#38553]
for Creative Writing and Journalism
at Falmouth University
Falmouth, The United Kingdom
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.
