Falmouth University
Our Profile
Our Portfolio
At Falmouth, we want our graduates to thrive in both the Creative and Technological Industries of the future and also bring their skills and experience to other high-growth sectors and emerging markets. Our portfolio development anticipates both the market opportunities ahead and the skills that will be most highly valued in the future economy.
We also know that in today’s workplace it’s important to be flexible. So, in addition to our on-campus portfolio, we also offer online degrees that can be completed anywhere in the world and fitted around a career or other responsibilities.
Between our three faculties, we have nine academic departments which offer over 75 undergraduate and postgraduate courses ranging from games, computing, animation and film to art and design, fashion and photography; and from performance, theatre, music and writing to business, marketing and events.
Our industry standard facilities across both our campuses are accessible to all and designed to give students the toolkit they need to bring their ideas to life and thrive in the workplace.
Our Partnerships
At Falmouth University we work in partnership with several specialist institutions from the UK and around the world to create more opportunities for our students.
Current partners include the Academy of Multimedia Design & Technology in Sri Lanka, Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts, the Fashion Retail Academy, WaterBear in Brighton and Sheffield, the Eden Project and Gorton Studio in Cornwall.
Falmouth Online
Our creative culture is not limited to our campuses in Cornwall. Since 2016 we have offered online degrees that let people explore their creativity in their own way. With our portfolio of online undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, students can prepare for the future - switch to a new career - in a flexible way that suits them.
Our online degrees were created to be studied online from the beginning by our award-winning digital learning team, providing the same quality teaching as our on-campus degrees. Our Falmouth creatives around the world are shaping the future with their creativity and innovation.
All our online courses foster creativity and innovation, taught by academic staff who have real industry connections and know how to make an impact. Students develop the skills to use their creativity effectively, giving them an advantage in their chosen industry.
Our campuses
Living in Cornwall
Located on the UK’s southwestern edge, Cornwall has long inspired creative minds. With more than 400 miles of coastline to explore and enjoy, the county attracts people who value a healthy work/life balance.
In the neighbouring towns of Falmouth and Penryn you’ll find beaches, spectacular scenery, specialist shops and a whole host of independent bars and restaurants. The area is well known for its year-round events calendar including Falmouth Week, Falmouth Oyster Festival, Penryn Arts Festival and the ever- popular International Sea Shanty Festival.
Thanks to the area’s famously creative heritage you’ll also find galleries, studios and venues, including The Poly – a vibrant cultural centre that hosts theatre and cinema.
Falmouth Campus
Nestled in lush, leafy, sub-tropical gardens, Falmouth Campus is truly one of a kind.
Artists and designers are drawn to its magical setting, which affords a level of creative and intellectual space not easily found in big, bustling metropolitan universities. Airy studios and workshops, a dedicated writers’ room and a recording studio provide the perfect context to think clearly and independently. It’s a campus that crackles with creative energy.
Penryn Campus
Penryn Campus is a contemporary creative hub, home to multimillion-pound facilities for photography, gaming, business, design, film, fashion and performing arts. This centre of excellence is a truly inspiring environment, equipped with new and emerging technology and alive with ideas.
Situated just 10 minutes apart by bus, our campuses are within easy reach of the town and some of the region’s best beaches.
Although owned by Falmouth, we share this wonderful setting with the University of Exeter’s School of Mines and Environmental Sciences Institute and the Tremough Innovation Centre (run by Plymouth University).
