Geoff Smith, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Falmouth University, said: "The ISB results are a great achievement for the University and a credit to our staff who provide such excellent academic and personal support to all our students during their time with us.

"International students contribute greatly to the vibrancy and culture at Falmouth University and this survey really helps us to track their opinions on what we offer so we can enhance our provision. We rely on the views of our students to ensure we continue to provide a world-class research and learning environment."

Students travel from all around the world to enrol on Falmouth University's pioneering courses in art, design, media, performance and writing. Recently made a full university, over £100 million of investment has produced an exemplary new campus, with state-of-the art facilities fit for any international institution.
