Introduction


Falmouth University stands as a shining example of excellence in education, emphasizing the values of collaboration, creativity, and fostering change-makers. With a forward-looking approach, the university continually explores new technologies and entrepreneurship, pushes boundaries, and leverages the power of creativity.

From the moment students step onto our campus, they embark on a transformative journey, equipping themselves with the skills and expertise necessary for success in the creative economy. Working on real-world projects in state-of-the-art facilities and guided by industry experts, our students gain invaluable experience in their chosen fields.

Falmouth University is not just a place of academic learning; it's a thriving community where lifelong friendships are forged, new passions discovered, and personal growth is nurtured. Here, kindred spirits come together, and the vibrant social life rivals that of much larger cities.

A Glimpse into Our History

In 1902, the Falmouth School of Art opened its doors with a mission to "promote the useful and fine arts, encourage industry, and tap into the ingenuity of a community known for its mechanical prowess." The institution's original vision was to shape the future of manufacturing through imagination and innovation. As we celebrate our history, we reflect on the contributions of our local community, which has helped mold our institution over the years.

In 2016, the Communications department at Falmouth University took charge of designing our prospectus covers in-house. In 2023, they captured the essence of our students and their evolving creative identities, highlighting their role as catalysts for innovation through a combination of studio photography, image enhancement, and thoughtful graphic design.
