Why study in Cornwall?

Right at the end of the United Kingdom, sticking out into the sea is Cornwall – a land of tales of smugglers and pirates, rich cream teas and Cornish pasties and world-class beaches and stunning coastlines.

Cornwall is filled with community spirit, art, culture and a dark and rugged history. More survives in Cornwall from the Neolithic and Bronze ages than in any other part of mainland Britain, and the Romans made little impact on Cornwall.

Top places to visit in Cornwall include the Minack Theatre, the Eden Project, Tintagel Castle, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Land’s End.

Many of the courses offered in Cornwall are designed with input from locally based businesses and also offer live projects and work placements as part of your study, so if you decide to stay in the area after completing your course you could well have the kinds of skills local companies are looking for.

Falmouth offers courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate) in Art, Design, Media, Performance and Writing and is a member of the United Kingdom Arts and Design Institutions Association, which promotes the contributions of its member institutions both nationally and internationally. There’s little doubt that if you’re looking to study in the art, design, media or performance fields Falmouth University will have a well-respected course for you to study.
