Learn More →University Overview
Falmouth University grew out of the Falmouth School of Art, which was founded in 1902. A merger with Dartington College of Arts in 2008 brought performance subjects into its range, and it was awarded university title in 2012. The university concentrates on the creative industries. Its subjects include animation, photography, games development, film and television, art, design, drawing and illustration, fashion and textiles, music, acting and theatre, and journalism and writing, while computing and business are taught through the Cornwall Business School. Of its approximately 8,000 students, around 1,200 are studying at postgraduate level.
Teaching takes place on two Cornish sites. The Falmouth Campus at Woodlane, the original site, is in the harbour town of Falmouth. A short way off lies the considerably larger Penryn Campus, which the university shares with the University of Exeter and where Glasney Student Village is located. Among its research activities is a Centre for Blended Realities, supported by the national Expanding Excellence in England fund. Falmouth has received the University Mental Health Charter Award from Student Minds, becoming the first specialist creative arts university to achieve this.
Information for International Students
Applicants for whom English is not a first language normally need IELTS 6.0 overall for undergraduate study, with a minimum of 5.5 in each skill, while postgraduate courses require 6.5 overall plus minimum scores in every skill. Rather than running its own pre-sessional English course, Falmouth points students towards an online partner provider. International applicants can join an integrated foundation year, offered with many undergraduate subjects, at either the Penryn or the Falmouth campus. Most applicants are invited to an audition or interview day, and portfolio or performance work is considered for some courses.
First-year undergraduates are guaranteed accommodation owned, managed or approved by the university, provided they have firmly accepted their offer and applied for housing before the published deadline. Applicant Services issues CAS statements once the offer has become unconditional and the necessary financial evidence is in hand, and also handles visa extension applications. Each September, International Student Services runs a staffed coach pick-up from London Heathrow. Merit-based scholarships are offered to international undergraduates and postgraduates, entrants to the integrated foundation year receive awards automatically, and eligible graduates may apply for the UK Graduate Route.
Intake Information
Intake information is provided as a general guide. Start dates vary between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Please follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and check the latest dates on the official Falmouth University website.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Falmouth University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Falmouth University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Falmouth University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
