Student support
At University College Falmouth, we are here to support you through your studies in every way we can. Follow the menu links for more information on the services available.
HelpMe student forum
Even before you arrive, the web-based HelpMe forum will help you ‘meet’ new friends and find answers to all your questions. Plus, all new undergraduates get a student mentor from the second year of their course, to help you find your feet at Falmouth.
Accommodation & Welfare
Accommodation & Welfare provide free, confidential help and advice with any problem, large or small, throughout term-time on the Woodlane and Tremough campuses.
In addition to counselling, careers and disability services they can make appointments with student union advisors, and offer general information, signposting, and a friendly ear to help, whatever your problem or query. Accommodation & Welfare have Access to Learning Fund application forms, local job vacancies, information about childcare, useful leaflets and much more. You can also contact the chaplain and a nurse from the Penryn practice runs a clinic at Tremough twice a week.
Services are confidential, student centred, and will grow and adapt to meet student needs. Even if they can’t help they’ll know someone who can.
