Frequently asked questions
Falmouth’s online degrees have all been designed from the outset to be taught online.
Advanced learning research underpins their design, and they're delivered through a bespoke virtual learning environment, known as Learn - a platform which has been crafted specifically for online tuition.
Course materials are released via the virtual learning environment at the end of each week, allowing time to plan your studies for the week ahead.
Teaching takes place through recorded learning content from practicing professionals. All recorded learning content is re-watchable – it's like ‘learning on-demand’ to suit your schedule.
You will also have the opportunity to attend weekly learning activities where you can connect with what's being taught, ask questions and collaborate. Learning activities are recorded so you can engage with conversations even if you can't attend at the time they are scheduled.
The design of our online degrees at Falmouth means you can access your course content anytime, anywhere, and our postgraduate online courses can be studied part-time, making it possible for you to study while working.
Based on the total learning time for the postgraduate online courses, an average study week can be up to 25 hours. As our online courses are intended to be flexible, the time required to study will vary based on the level of study, the module week, and individual learning pace.
The above recommendations depend on your individual learning style and ability. The important thing to remember is that you can complete these hours at a time that suits you; all recorded learning content can be replayed at any time, so can fit around working or lifestyle commitments.
Wellbeing, accessibility and employability are just some of the ways Falmouth students are supported throughout their time with us, and online students benefit from the same levels of support as on-campus students.
Our Accessibility and Inclusive Learning team support and advise students with disabilities, health conditions and Specific Learning Differences (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or ADHD). You can access their support as soon as you have accepted your place, and can find their contact details and more information on our disability support page.
While you're studying, your tutor will offer regular feedback on your work and be your first point of contact for any academic queries. You'll also have continual access to technical support, and a Student Advisor who'll be there to answer any general questions you have, help you to access academic and wellbeing support services (like our Employability service) and guide you through your student journey.
Falmouth’s online degrees are validated and awarded in exactly the same way as those taught on campus, and online students graduate in the same in-person ceremonies as on-campus students. Your degree certificate will not say “online”.
The difference with our online degrees is that they are designed from the outset to be taught online, by an award-winning team of Learning Designers. Advanced research underpins their design, and they're delivered through a bespoke virtual learning environment, known as Learn - a platform which has been crafted specifically for online tuition.
You have the option to apply directly with us via the Apply Now button on a course page, or with support from a Course Advisor.
We also consider applications from future students who may not have traditional education backgrounds. Find out more about applying with non-traditional educational experience.
