Open Day Guide
Saturday 25 October 2025
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.
