Student Voices

I love living in a small town rather than a big city, and my confidence has already improved a lot since moving here.

Living in Cornwall has been the best experience ever!

Falmouth has an amazing creative environment surrounded by nature and the sea, making you feel instantly at home.

I'm a second-year Acting student at Falmouth and I love being outdoors, walking and sea-swimming across Cornwall.

I am a mature online student with a background in print and design.

For the last 4 years I have been doing stand up comedy. When the pandemic started, I focused more on writing which is where my passion lies and that pushed me to do the Comedy Writing master's at Falmouth.

After first visiting Falmouth on an Open Day, I immediately fell in love!

I'm just happy to be doing what I'm doing, and I'm grateful for the chance to travel to Falmouth and have one of the best experiences of my life.

Hi, my name is Violet, and I am from Newquay, Cornwall. I'm studying Business and Digital Marketing and I’m a Course Rep and a Student Ambassador.

Hiya! My name is Saffron. I’m studying Marine & Natural History Photography.

I’m hugely passionate about Falmouth and celebrating its breadth of creativity, beauty and inspiration.

The number one reason on why I chose to study Business Management BSc(Hons) at Falmouth was the versatility within the course modules.

Hello, I’m Alice! After completing an art foundation at The Bristol School of Art, I was quite sure that Falmouth was the only place I wanted to be.

I want to use my degree to bring technical theatre to lower age groups and those people who may not always get the chance to work in a technical role.

I love all things design and hands-on creativity, which is why I chose Falmouth.

I have always loved travelling, nature and music so combining these passions into Sustainable Festival Management is perfect!

What I love the most about this university is how easy it is to collaborate with so many creative people from different backgrounds and with different ideas.

I am a painter and illustrator that specialises in exploring femininity, female form and sexuality with its connections to nature.

I’d say my course is like those fun days at school where you’d do team building activities rather than sitting in class and you’d wish every school day would be like that.

I have a real passion for documentary making, which is why I study the Television course here at Falmouth!

My course and the Uni have opened me up to things I could never have dreamed of.

You would probably find me involved in the SU volleyball society or volleyball in general – promoting the Cornish volley scene all the way!

Studying Fashion Marketing, at Falmouth University, has changed my life!

When I’m not taking photos I’m filming videos for YouTube on my channel and trying to do a little bit of blogging on my Instagram too.

The best thing about Falmouth has to be the course, as well as the sports and societies that you can join – it's so much fun!

Taking a leap of faith often leads to the best outcomes; life begins outside your comfort zone, right?

Being able to do my hobby as a degree was a dream.

Falmouth Uni has opportunities such as access to courses that run alongside your chosen degree that you can use to enhance skills or develop new skills.

Having great facilities and such a beautiful campus at my disposal is a dream for me, I knew from my first visit that this is where I wanted to be.

This whole university experience has been so new and so interesting for me, and pretty much completely unlike anything I could do back home.

My time here has allowed me to try out things I’ve never had the chance to do in the city.

I absolutely adore my course and have found some amazing friends throughout my time as a part of it.

My love of sport, design and fashion led me to the sportswear design course which was definitely the right choice for me! I love to get involved with as much as possible and am an ambassador and a student rep.

One of my favourite things about this course is that you get to try out so many different things and build up a good range of skills that will benefit you in the future.

I've always wanted to do something related to theatre and I'm trying to find out exactly what that is while here in Falmouth.

I love Falmouth for its creative and collaborative atmosphere and the abundance of opportunities for students to create their own work.

I've always looked forward to learning new things and I try to be creative when coming up with new game ideas.

Illustration appealed to me due to the broad nature of the course and how career-focused it is; I don't want to get an art degree then never use it!

Falmouth was a massive step for me, I knew no one and couldn’t hop on the bus home after a long day. Yet it’s been amazing and I’ve met and made awesome friends, memories and so many stories.

Falmouth has been amazing as it has given me the creative freedom to make the games that I want to make.

I have never looked back, the friends I have made along the way and the projects I’ve had a chance to work on have been amazing.
