University College Falmouth

University College Falmouth is a vibrant and forward-thinking specialist arts college that is a key player in the national and international creative scene. Our justifiable international reputation for excellence in Art, Design, Media, Performance and Writing has grown from over a century of nurturing original thinking, supported by highly talented and professional staff.

Falmouth's Schools of Art & Design and Media & Performance offer some of the most innovative, entrepreneurial, collaborative and transformative learning experiences available in a specialist college of art.

Falmouth is pleased to be a member of the United Kingdom Arts and Design Institutions Association (ukadia), a group of specialist arts and design institutions from across the UK's higher and further education sectors. ukadia's aim is to promote, nationally and internationally, the key contributions of specialist colleges to the UK's world-renowned reputation in visual arts, performance and the creative and cultural industries.

Falmouth is also part of the Cornwall Skillset Media Academy network - a UK-wide group of institutions identified as centres of excellence in creative media education and training.

University College Falmouth merged with Dartington College of Arts on 6 April 2008, heralding an exciting new era for arts education in the South West and paving the way for a new specialist Arts University in Cornwall by 2012.
