Tom Ingate

My undergraduate was in photographic communication from Falmouth Collage of Art and my teacher training in 11-19yr Art, Design and Photographic education was from Exeter University. I have taught in secondary schools, sixth forms and higher education since 2004, and also worked as a freelance portrait and wedding photographer.
I have worked at Falmouth since 2005 running workshops or modules for BA (Hons) PR, Journalism and MA Professional Writing. I am currently Senior lecturer for BA (Hons) Press and Editorial teaching theory and practice modules across all three years.
