Originally founded as Falmouth School of Art in 1902, today the University is one of the world’s leading international specialist arts institutions. From its formal opening, the institution was described as "destined to make its mark" and thanks to support from leading practitioners including Peter Lanyon, Bernard Leach and Dame Barbara Hepworth, it’s done just that. Based across two campuses, the environment in and around Falmouth University couldn’t be better. The Falmouth Campus meanders through a valley garden and provides the perfect venue for thinking, making and doing, while the Penryn Campus, shared with the University of Exeter, houses a fusion of arts and sciences in its state-of-the-art facilities. In 2005, the Privy Council granted the institution the right to award degrees in its own name, leading to the creation of University College Falmouth, before it was awarded full University status in 2012 and became Falmouth University.
The University is set in Cornwall, a county synonymous with arts and culture and home to the highest concentration of creative practitioners outside of London. Boasting 300 miles of stunning coastline, four UNESCO World Heritage sites and creative exports of around £10 billion, the South West is truly a special place to live and study. The great outdoors, Cornish coast and a landscape that has energised creative people for centuries are right on Falmouth’s doorstep. Falmouth is a vibrant town and has many music-related pubs, a cinema, an arts cinema and exhibition space, and many affordable eateries. Being located on a peninsular, it is also famous for its scenery, shipping history and access to many varied watersports. Falmouth is easily accessible by rail, road and air, with Newquay airport approximately 25 miles away from Falmouth. There are also very good transport links between the Falmouth and Penryn campuses, with a regular, direct bus link and a branch line rail service.
A typical offer is between 260 and 300 UCAS tariff points, mainly from the A2 level or equivalent Level 3 qualifications or relevant experience. Due to the creative nature of the University’s courses, applicants will be considered on individual merit and you should contact the admissions team if you are predicted UCAS points outside of this range. Postgraduate applicants may need an honours degree, foundation degree or HND in a related subject. If you have solid professional industry experience rather than academic achievement, this may be acceptable through a process called APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning). If English is not your first language, you will also be required to have an IELTS score of 6.0, or an equivalent English language test, completed within the last two years. All promising applicants will be invited to interview or audition, and may be asked to present a portfolio.
