This event is designed to be informal, drop-in and flexible, so you can learn more about the areas of studying at Falmouth that matter to you.  

During this event, you'll be able to:  

  • Join campus tours and explore facilities, libraries and where you could be studying  
  • Chat to academic teams about studying your chosen subject at a master's level 
  • Learn more about the student finance process for postgraduate study
