Music at Falmouth University

(5)·By Hermione T·Music· Jun 2023
The accommodation at the university is really good. It's spacious and in my accommodation I got an ensuite and a shared bathroom, a dish washer and a washing machine. I also got a double bed. I stayed in ocean view and commuted to my lectures and practices, but it was all for it. Also, Falmouth is a lovely place to shop and hang out in. Would recommend.

Film, Year 2

(5)·By Charlotte F·Film· Jul 2021
Freshers was both brilliant and terrible, I didn't go to all the events planned but they were supposedly rubbish. Meeting everyone in the first year was amazing though and these are the people I've stuck with throughout uni I stayed in Packsaddle hill, a very modern accommodation, brilliantly spacious and even the small rooms were still sweet. There weren't really any problems, some flooding problems with the showers and the fact you had to walk 5 mins if you locked yourself out, but it was definitely the best of all the accommodations In my first year, around deadline time I'd spend all my time in the library for getting on with work. The memberships for sports facilities is also far too expensive but all Falmouths facilities are brilliant Well in first year, we had weekly screenings and theory about said films, which was brilliant, we also made films in groups. Second year was wildly different for me as I decided to take screenwriting, this and the pandemic led to me not going on campus at all, which was difficult both for learning and for mental health reasons (having essentially no reason to leave my house or even my bed made if difficult) Well Falmouth is hardly a city, it's a little smaller than my home town but this doesn't make it any less exciting. There's nightlife (usually), plenty places to go and lovely quirky shops

It was very fun and the uni made an effort to provide activities for students to get to know everyone It was very clean modern and I made good friends Facilities were useful and resourceful and I regularly use the library The lectures are very engaging and informative and the tutors are helpful I love London and is perfect for the course I study as a lot of primary research involves the city

Other, Year 1

I have experienced so much whilst studying my course which is Marine and Natural History Photography. Not only have I had interesting lessons in the natural world but I've also been to on site locations with my course mates. Making friends and going out at night is completely different to the nightlife in London, it's a much more chill, slow paced environment

Journalism, Graduate

(5)·By Will C·Journalism· Jul 2021
Full of SU events which were always pretty hard to get tickets for due to high popularity. Was a great way to meet new people outside of your flat. Glasney View was situated right on campus with a five minute walk to lectures. Was a hub of flat parties and everything was so closely linked you could with with a mate within seconds. Library is open 24/7 so is super handy for doing late night essay writing with a huge resource for reading/referencing material. There is also a gym which is great for first years not wanting to venture out of campus. The lecturers and the course itself was super insightful and covered every single area of Journalism. Exploring and experimenting with different elements enabled us to search for a job in the field we succeeded in most. The support from lecturers is incredible. Falmouth is a quiet town, ran mostly by students. There is a weird territorial thing with locals vs students but for the most part everyone is very accommodating.

The equipment and facilities avaliable are absolutely ASTONISHING! It's top tier, best of the best equipment and the staff are extremely helpful and enthusiastic about their work. All thr students know they'll get all the support they need, if they just ask, from people who genuinely want to help and see you succeed. :)

10/10 for a small university town, they put on tons of events, open activities and freshers fairs to get us all settled in and meet new people. Clean, practical and a 10 minute bus trip from campus, what else could you need. Facilities were brilliant with an on campus gym, 24 hour library services, and brilliant studios. One of the only courses I know of that give you a permanent desk all year round to have a safe creative space to work and store your belongings. Really engaging and supportive. They gave you first hand knowledge of industry standard practises and insights, tips and information of relevant things for after our studies were over. City, more like small seaside town! Despite being a small town it's filled with really nice pubs, quaint shops and is surrounded by lots of coastal walks. As well as being on the beach front it offers you the chance to lean new water sport activities like surfing, paddle boarding and sea swimming.

Fine art, Falmouth

(4.8)·By Emma M·Fine Art· Jun 2023
The Fine Art course lectures are really great, the studios are large and often have spectacular views of the sea and gardens that surround the uni. While Falmouth campus is small is has everything you need as well as a really good energy, the people are unlike anyone else. Falmouth town is much the same, I have always felt very safe here. There is a great live music scene and lots of great pubs- there are 2 clubs, they aren't the best imo. It is quite expensive to live here, with only a Tesco express in town and around £500 for most alright double rooms. It can also be a little overwhelming coming from a city to suddenly know literally everyone.

It was good because I had good flatmates. I think if I didn't though the actual event would have been bad It's good to be fair, there's lots to choose from and mine was okay in price. Facilities are good as there are a lot to choose from They are informative. I have one every day so I learn a lot. My uni isn't in a city so I couldn't tell you. It's good by the beach tho.
