Architecture BA (Hons)

University rating (2)

I live in Cornwall and to have such a stunning university here is something to be proud of. However, I do not feel Falmouth Universities study level is sufficient. The course falls flat with plenty of time wasting. Lots of work gets redone with very little 'teaching' happening. They do not encourage you to push yourself and are only supposedly proud of the students that have moved here from elsewhere and who's families have connections to the wider architecture world. Very unfortunate that you aren't prepared to support the local people. Cornwall is a small and very inaccessible place it is a shame that you would allow this to ruin someones uni experience and dreams.

Electronic Music Production BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The facilities are second to none and it is a fantastic place to develop the skill set needed to work in this industry. The opportunities to perform in real world environments and the trips to working studios are a great insight into the industry. The student support services all left around Christmas. I was in a time of need and I was going to apply for extenuating circumstances but there was no one to discuss this with or ask for support. My tutors were there but it’s not their job to provide support services. I ended up just putting myself under immense stress and this lead to burnout.

Great facilities, maybe a Photoshop licence would be great for us since we use it a lot.

Sound & Music Technology FdA

University rating (4)

The facilities at dBs are fantastic and there are always patient technicians on hand to help navigate and get the most out of said equipment. The institutes size is a big bonus - the cohort compared to other unis is small which allows more opportunity for individual care and attention from the highly qualified collection of lecturers. Another huge positive is the level of student support I, personally, have received. I have made use of everything offered to me and i cant emphasise enough how much this has supported me in my development. As someone with learning and mental health difficulties, I would not have been able to get to where in am without this. The process to receive this support however requires formal testing, the waiting list for which is rather long - I know of students who could really use this same support but are either put off by the wait time of have been waiting for a long time to have their needs assessed. The biggest negative for dBs is the lack of a dedicated student union outside of uni. This is understandable due to the size of the institute but it means students have less opportunity to meet others from outside respective classes. There are events that happen and various societies but no consistent dedicated space that we can socialise in together.

Music Production & Sound Engineering BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I really like the family sense at dBs. I walk in at the campus and there is always people to chat with, collaborate and share a nice time in general. I feel more bookable time on the main studios would be ideal during the week. As there are lessons is hard to get time in them in the middle of the week. More spaces like studio 3 would be a dream!

Music Production & Sound Engineering BA (Hons)

Not a typical uni, smaller and more tight knit, good for music industry specialties.

Game Development: Design BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

Location and facilities are great, but that's about it. Staff won't allow the appealing of grades / will say that the students are “complaining”. Staff will also favourite some students and give them better grades over others. Other universities for this course provide far much better support and facilities for students.

Game Art BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

It is situated next to the sea and has 3 different beaches. The campuses are both incredibly beautiful and green - a perfect place to wonder on a break of your studies. The facilities are state of the art and the teaching staff are great and helpful! I feel so supported in my studies and I have learnt so much. Penryn campus is on top of a hill which is annoying to walk to but other than that it's wonderful !
