Are you a busy professional looking to develop your skills and career options? Are you keen to study but can't take time out of work? We are developing a portfolio of flexible learning courses to help you adapt to the changing world of work in a way that fits in with your life.
In response to increasing demand from professionals and employers from all sectors, University College Falmouth will, from 2012 onwards, offer a new range of short, intensive, professionally-focused courses for people who want to continue learning throughout their career.
Our courses are designed in response to today's rapidly evolving industries and tougher business climate - locally, nationally and internationally. There will be options to study at undergraduate and postgraduate level on full degrees or freestanding modules.
You may be in full-time, part-time or freelance employment and will benefit from an alternative approach to learning. The courses are carefully planned to be relevant to both your employment needs and those of your company/employers/clients.
Wherever you live or work, our CPD courses are highly accessible with delivery provided in three ways:
Falmouth's short courses in Professional Media Practice are designed to allow professionals to understand the challenges of the new media environment - from interactivity to user-generated content - and develop the creativity, confidence and new skills to adapt and succeed. Each course has been developed closely with first-class media partners who really understand the changing industry, and know what skills and knowledge are needed.
Our courses offer a combination of modules that can either be taken individually or combined to work towards a recognised postgraduate qualification, such as a Postgraduate Certificate, a Postgraduate Diploma or a full MA.
Skillset is the Sector Skills Council for the UK creative media industries, supporting skills and training for people and businesses to ensure the UK creative media industries maintain their world-class position.
Falmouth is a member of the Cornwall Skillset Media Academy - an elite UK-wide group of universities identified as centres of excellence in the design and delivery of practice-based media education and training - building on strong partnerships that UCF already has with broadcasters, training organisations and media production companies.
