Upcoming taster days
Our taster days are intended to give prospective applicants the chance to immerse themselves in their course of choice for a full day, working on a project with our staff and students. We run tours of all our facilities and accommodation, provide lunch, and really give guests a flavour of life at Falmouth.
The next taster days will be running in the Autumn term. Exact dates will be available closer to the time.

What our guests say
"Very welcoming and laid back. Everyone seemed happy which is refreshing to see - at some colleges everyone looks miserable. The university and the people made a fantastic impression on me." Ella, Falmouth
"Thank you for a really fun day and for showing me what the course is about. Helped me decide that it's the right course and place for me." Rachel, Kingston College
"The practical parts were very useful as they gave me an insight into the types of processes I would use on the course, and how the machinery worked." Sophie, Falmouth
"I really liked the Design Centre - how all the different areas are open to each other. The equipment in the workshop was pretty impressive." Ruth, Warwickshire College
"The introduction at the start of the day meant I was well informed about what you look for in a prospective student and the afternoon provided me with the experience of the course. I really like this university. The Fashion department seems really well equipped even though I was told it hasn't been running for long, and in such a short time it has gained a brilliant reputation." Louise, Tavistock College
"Everything I saw was relevant and I can't think of anything which could have been added. And the lunch pass was really generous!" Jake, Plymouth College of Art
"A brilliant idea and more universities should do this." Helen, Dudley College
"A nice, warming and very state of the art university; from the lecturers being helpful and kind to the tour showing everything. The accommodation I stayed in was for sure the best I have seen so far." Pirthviraaj, Derby College
"Meeting the tutors and students and other people applying for the course has made me less nervous about going for an interview. Also the task that we did gave me a better idea of what the course involves." Lily, KEVICC
"I really enjoyed the fact that we got to use various techniques and equipment, such as the jacquard loom, which I haven't had the chance to do before. I found out everything I wanted to know about the course and the university, particularly from the students who were helping out." Hannah, The Burgate Sixth Form
"I stayed on the main campus which was lovely. The architecture made it feel like a community rather than student accommodation. The people were friendly! The 2nd years were each so individual and delightful. I loved it and I really want a place on this course." Sianne, Derby College
"Very impressive, great size with amazing amount of technology, exciting!" Kathryn, Truro College
