Postgraduate Study Guide 2012 - University College Falmouth

The Exchange
This brand new, £10
million*, state-of-the-art
learning and resources facility
will be opening in summer
2012 – ready for you to use
if you enrol at University
College Falmouth next
September.
A 2,554-sqm expansion and
enhancement of the existing Learning
Resource Centre, The Exchange is
shared and managed by UCF and the
University of Exeter. Located in the
heart of the Tremough Campus, it will
provide a range of vibrant teaching and
learning spaces, study areas and library
space for collections and research
material as well as a Social Street (open
24 hours a day, seven days a week) that
will enable staff, students and visitors
to Tremough to meet, socialise, share
ideas and collaborate.
Opening off the Social Street will
be a variety of learning spaces, all with
their own feel and reflecting the needs
of the 21st century learner – including
a collaborative lecture theatre space in
which group learning and teaching can
be delivered; a learning lab in which
staff and students can collaborate and
explore ideas; and a range of ‘eddy
spaces’ or informal learning spaces
and small seminar rooms where small
group teaching and peer learning
can take place.
* £4.37 million from HEFCE (the Higher Education
Funding Council for England), £3 million from the
ERDF (European Regional Development Fund)
Convergence Programme, £1 million from South
West RDA (Regional Development Agency), and a
combined investment of almost £2 million from
UCF and UoE.
