Falmouth University is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Online College of Art & Design (OCAD), strengthening our shared commitment to nurturing emerging talent and expanding access to education. 

As part of this collaboration, students completing OCAD’s Level 3 Foundation Diploma will have a clear and supported progression route into higher education at Falmouth. They will benefit from personalised preparation for undergraduate study, including guidance to strengthen applications for our acclaimed online degree programmes, as well as support with applications to our on-campus courses. 

The partnership also provides OCAD students with exclusive opportunities to engage with Falmouth through presentations, tailored advice from our academic teams, and invitations to a range of online and on-campus events. Those who join Falmouth will become part of our vibrant creative community, gaining access to cutting-edge teaching, strong industry links and an inspiring network of practitioners and peers. 

With more than 120 years of creative heritage, Falmouth University is proud to work alongside OCAD to ensure a seamless transition from foundation to degree-level study. 

Together, we are empowering the next generation of artists, designers and creative thinkers to realise their full potential and shape the future of the creative industries.
