Welcome

 

A place to pioneer

We will shortly be welcoming our next cohort of students, and here at Falmouth there's so much to look forward to. We’re not just responding to the world around us; we're shaping it.

With over a century of art school heritage behind us, our students are pushing forward, fusing the magic of creativity with the power of technology to imagine, innovate and evolve.

A welcome to new students
