Welcome to Falmouth. Today provides you with an opportunity to engage with our community of students and staff, dedicated to creating a transformative environment where we can all realise our potential.
We’re proud to be the first and only specialist creative arts institution to achieve the University Mental Health Charter Award for our innovative, industry-leading support for student mental health and wellbeing. Beyond the boundaries of our campuses, Cornwall’s natural environment provides inspiration and the space to be active and gain perspective on life and studies.
Take the time to explore our campus facilities and attend the comprehensive course and information talks available. I hope the day inspires you to join us for your university experience.
We’re delighted that you’ve joined us on campus and we hope you get everything you need from your day here. This handy booklet will help you plan your day, discover what you want to see and find the answers to your questions.
Registration & Information
Our information points are open on both campuses from 9-4pm, where our staff and Student Ambassadors can give you all the details and directions you may need. Check out the information point locations on p8-9, then look for red gazebos, info desks in the Study Hubs and Student Ambassadors dressed in yellow. We’re here to help you get the best from your visit.
We’re happy to help visitors with accessibility needs. Just let us know at registration or an info point, so we can guide you to more accessible campus routes or offer further support.
Planning your Open Day
We have two campuses – one in Penryn and one in Falmouth. To travel between them, please ask our staff for directions or to arrange a taxi. Campus postcodes are on the back of this booklet; allow at least 30 minutes for the journey.
