How creative communities go global, thanks to online teaching technology at Falmouth University
Thousands of students are turning to online study to develop their practice, enhance their career prospects and make meaningful connections with practitioners from across the world. But what is it really like taking the step toward a new creative career from home? We hear from creative specialists Falmouth University, to get the student’s-eye view.
“The community was wonderful,” says Fine Art MA (Online) graduate Cindy Powell. “Before starting the course, I was worried that studying online might feel quite isolating, but it felt surprisingly communal.”
"I loved studying with designers from different countries – it really made me appreciate the cultural impact of graphic design,” adds Graphic Design MA (Online) graduate Max Bloom.
And that’s because with modern technology, ‘online’ doesn’t mean you’re on your own, and in fact, Falmouth’s online courses are specifically designed and delivered to support collaboration, tutor and peer-to-peer engagement and meaningful relationship-building.
Falmouth’s reputation for creating exciting opportunities for students through unrivalled industry links applies just as much to online students, too. The connections with guest speakers, innovative online tutors with a wealth of commercial expertise, and industry-informed live projects really set Falmouth’s online courses apart.
"I finished the course with an industry-ready portfolio I’m proud of and a peer network of fellow writers and performers that I couldn’t have got anywhere else,” Comedy Writing MA (Online) graduate Nicky Roberts told us.
"The challenges I encountered on the course helped me to understand what is required for building a business, and I consider it a huge achievement to now run my own studio,” says Indie Game Development MA (Online) graduate Georgi Tsaklev.
“A benefit of the course for me was the ability to craft my own learning journey and develop my areas of focus. For me that journey was tightly aligned to making myself more employable at a high strategic level,” explains Marketing and Communications MA (Online) graduate Tom Holmes.
Why Falmouth’s online degrees are different
Underpinned by award-winning learning design, Falmouth’s online master’s courses are studied 100% remotely, at a time and place that suits you, so you can study around work, alongside childcare or caring commitments, or just in a way that better fits your lifestyle.
If you're looking for an alternative and more flexible route into higher education, to develop your creative practice in your own time and space, or to focus on your career development, an online master’s with Falmouth might be just what you’re looking for.
