Collaboration at Falmouth

Students collaborating on a project

For over a century, Falmouth University has been shaping the future of the creative industries, and beyond.

A community of wild creators, bold explorers and radical thinkers, we empower students to innovate and explore, transforming their own practices and making deep human connections with other creatives.

Discover the ways our courses and facilities are designed to promote collaborative learning. 

Collaboration in action

There’s real magic in the mix: fashion and film students sharing ideas, game developers working with creative writers to craft narratives, entrepreneurs finding inspiration in performance. Our students have the opportunity to conceive and complete projects not just with other students but on industry-aligned projects, growing their portfolios and graduating as multiskilled and networked practitioners.
