Postgraduate study is your chance to specialise. Falmouth provides you with the perfect learning environment to do this. We offer stimulating intellectual exchange, exciting career opportunities and a truly diverse student community.

Falmouth combines the vocational with the non-vocational; you develop personal research interests, while learning practical skills and gaining insight into career paths. The courses emphasise the value of collaboration and also allow unique opportunities for individual development.

BBC TV News Correspondent Fergus Walsh was a student on the Broadcast Journalism PgDip/MA: “The Broadcast Journalism course gave me a good grounding in law for journalists – absolutely essential. Most crucial was the two placements it secured – at BBC Radio Oxford and BRMB Radio in Birmingham. I never had a burning ambition to be a journalist until I started this course and realised that journalism is a fantastic job. I couldn’t wait to be a reporter and still love it.”

Courses such as MA Illustration: Authorial Practice offer a valuable opportunity for personal creative development. “The MA has allowed me the freedom and space to think and create, enhancing my working practice far more than I would have thought possible” says ex-student Ella Burfoot. This wealth of individual skills fosters a strong postgraduate culture.

Whether you are returning to study after finding your specialisation through work, or continuing your education straight after a degree, experts at Falmouth can offer you exemplary professional advice.
