Falmouth University

The students union are very helpful! There are lots of clubs, groups and societies to join and lots of activities to take part in. The facilities on campus are very good, with lots being available 24hr.

If you are looking to study in a beautiful, unique and arty location then Falmouth is for you. I am based on Penryn Campus but often go to the Woodlane Campus to get food and art supplies from their amazing shop and beautifully architectural designed building! Both of the campuses are filled with plants and well thought out landscaping. I am studying Textile Design and the FTI (Fashion Textiles Institute) building is so so well designed and equiped with all of the facilities such as digital print, weave, screen print, dye labs, sewing machines, studio spaces, fashion area, fashion photography and fashion marketing. The space is all open planned and you can bounce off other students as there is constant inspiration around you. There is also a sofa area to chill out on if you bring your own lunch. The environment is so chilled in what you would think would be a high stress course. The course also allows you to have your own freedom of choice and doesn't try to direct you to one particular outcome or 'trend'. The student union often throws events at The Stannary, the student bar and hub and I often visited this when living on campus in halls of residents - Glasney, which was a nice introduction into university life. Although I would recommend highly living in Falmouth as this is where all the action is at! I haven't had much contact with the career services yet but am looking into work placements for summer, so I'm sure I shall contact them soon!

Very clean and well kept uni, every one is so welcoming when you start and it's nice to return the favour when the new students arrive in the following years. Halls isn't as nice as the rest of the uni, but it's the people you meet that make the experience so much better. My flat mates in first year were so lovely and inviting I've even moved in with them for my second and third year. There is so much to do in and out of uni like clubs and groups that you can sign up to. There was no liner to the amount to faster sessions you went to so you could have a go at everything, Theo's helped so much for getting to no new people. There's always something go on around both campus so it's never dull.

The course I'm on is different and opens a lot of different career paths for you. The trips are different and aren't at the Your normal places. The staff are very helpful and are keen to teach you new techniques to help you in the future and always love to get you to push yourself to reach your fall protendial. The campus it self is easy to navigate once you get use to it and they have different things for different people needs.

Amazing university. Can't say a bad word about it. The location makes it 10x better. Close to the beach, great community and good transport. You can have amazing night out there with a verity of music and atmospheres available

Couldnt think of a better university to attend! Great atmosphere and amazing student life. Two lovely campuses

The campus and atmoshpere of Falmouth is overall beautiful, surrounded by trees and beautiful gardens, and right next to a beautiful cornish beach. The fine art course is amazing with complete artistic freedom and your own studio space. The overall vibe is very friendly and non-judgemental which works perfectly for artistic students wanting to explore their creative freedom.

Since the beginning of my academic career I have constantly been surprised with everything that Falmouth has to offer its students, what struck me was that they were focus on the university experience as much as the education. The enormous library that stocks every possible text you could want it matched with joyful student nights at their on site bar, the facilities themselves are state of the art and we are encouraged to explore them ourselves to better get to know them. The lecturers are extremely well versed and engaging in their respective fields and that leads to the most enjoyable lectures one could hope for. Overall, it is extremely enjoyable to live and study at Falmouth, it’s preparing me for more than just my career.

The campus is in a lovely location with an on-site garden. The facilities are brilliant and the illustration course offers a wide range of different exciting projects.
