Unlock your creative potential with a masters degree

Falmouth UniversityCreative thinking is the driving force behind innovation, offering solutions to global challenges and inspiring people to think, act, and feel differently. And it’s not just our shared culture that benefits; in 2023 the creative industries contributed £124bn to the UK economy: representing 5.2% of the Gross Value Added of the whole UK economy*. The UK Government has resultantly identified the creative industries as one of eight growth driving sectors to prioritise in its industrial strategy.

This means there’s never been a better time to enter the creative sector, and deciding to study a masters degree can be a springboard to becoming a creative specialist or a way to pivot into a new creative field.

With more than 120 years of art school heritage, Falmouth University has shaped generations of artists, designers, makers and entrepreneurs, and continues to be a creative powerhouse today.  

At Falmouth there’s a dynamic postgraduate community of creative minds working across a huge range of disciplines, fuelling each other to push the limits of what creativity can do.

“It’s not just about making art – it’s about being part of something thoughtful, generous, and alive. Without question, it’s the best course I’ve ever done”, says MA Fine Art (Online) graduate Claire Rookes.

Falmouth’s postgraduate taught degrees – offered both on-campus and online – reflect the full spectrum of the creative industries, from games and computing to art, advertising, business and film. They’re also deeply connected to those industries; from academic and tutor connections and guest lecturers, to mirroring professional practice through industry-aligned briefs and study trips.

“Choosing to pursue my masters at Falmouth University was a life-changing decision”, says MA Game Art graduate Anosh Saji. “I was initially drawn to the course because of its reputation as one of the top design universities in the UK. My confidence in the course was further strengthened by the fact that the academic staff were all experienced professionals from the industry.”

Falmouth masters students also have access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipping them to work confidently with industry-standard tools and technologies. From cutting-edge studios to collaborative workspaces replicating professional environments, postgraduate students are encouraged to collaborate across disciplines and develop the skills to thrive in the competitive creative industries they enter when they graduate.
