Combined Universities in Cornwall
Cornwall is one of the UK's fastest growing study destinations, thanks to a massive expansion of university level education in the county through the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) initiative.
CUC brings together six universities and colleges in a unique partnership, working collaboratively to create new opportunities in Cornwall. To date it has attracted more than £150 million to develop new courses and to build and equip new facilities, including much of University College Falmouth's Tremough Campus and most recently, the Performance Centre.
CUC's Unlocking Cornish Potential scheme has also helped many graduates to find employment with local companies, providing the ideal springboard into a rewarding career in Cornwall.
CUC and its partner institutions are now focussing on some of the main challenges and opportunities for economic growth in Cornwall. These include:
- Developing a low carbon economy
- Growing the creative industries and digital economy
- Stimulating enterprise and innovation
- Widening participation in higher education and higher level skills
As a result of the work of the Combined Universities, Cornwall is now recognised as a European leader for its innovative, collaborative approach to higher education, underpinned by a commitment to supporting the County's people and businesses.
The CUC partners are:
- University College Falmouth
- University of Exeter
- University of Plymouth
- Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry
- Cornwall College
- Truro and Penwith College
