The Academy for Innovation & Research
1. Home to our Graduate School and growing community of research students, the Academy for Innovation & Research (AIR) also facilitates collaboration with a range of partners including businesses, charities and public sector organisations
2. The School of Architecture, Design & Interiors
The School of Architecture, Design & Interiors explores design, sustainable issues, materials and manufacturing processes. Here, creative practice and research deliver informed and innovative solutions to challenging real world design problems
3. The Falmouth School of Art
Visual arts have been practised and taught at Falmouth for over a century, and we have an established reputation for creative excellence, which we are always seeking to improve. Cornwall has long attracted creative practitioners, such as the St Ives artists who relocated here in the mid-20th century to produce internationally acclaimed work. They lived locally but operated globally, which is how we encourage our students to work today
4. The School of Communication Design
If you ask the top creative directors, designers or art directors what the most important quality they are looking for in a graduate is, they will tell you it's the ability to think creatively. It's all about the 'big idea' behind the work, the challenging of convention and the creative risk. It is this that drives us and creates the central platform for the School - it is our shared currency
5. The Fashion & Textiles Institute
The Fashion & Textiles Institute is an energetic, industrious, studio-based environment. The sectors we focus on are global in nature and famously competitive. So we put all of our efforts into preparing you to succeed - by helping you to shape your professional identity and design aesthetic, by involving you in live, industry-sponsored projects, and by facilitating international internships and study visits
