Insurance placeholders

Two students walking past a large building on Penryn Campus

We’re really pleased you’ve chosen us as your Insurance choice! Your Insurance choice is essentially your 'back up', so if you don’t meet your offer at your Firm choice and they are not able to accept you, your firm choice will change automatically to us as long as you meet the conditions of your offer at Falmouth. 

We understand that we were not your top choice, and recognise that the change from Insurance to Firm with Falmouth may be disappointing for you. So, we've put together some information to help make the process a little clearer and so you know where you can get help and support should you require it.
