It’s small, peaceful and beautiful. People here are kind and friendly. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy life and to discover inner peace. yAnG FAn Full-time PhD Student —
— The whole of UCF felt very inclusive – everyone is always looking out for one another. The International Office was excellent and they were always keen to help. The course was amazing and the tutors are really well connected worldwide. FelIPe SeRRADOuRADA GuIMARAeS MA Creative Advertising graduate www.falmouth.ac.uk/creativeadvertising — nInA SAADA MA International Journalism graduate — There’s huge diversity on the International Journalism course; everyone on my course had a different story and background. There were students from India, Lebanon, USA and Nepal and people that had lived abroad in Hong Kong, Kazakhstan and Australia; many had worked in a different profession before deciding to take the journalism route. This made for a really fascinating, diverse and fun group. www.falmouth.ac.uk/ internationaljournalism StIAn PeteRSheIM MA Television Production graduate — Postgraduate study really helped me get where I am today. One month after I finished my studies I got a job as a cameraman on The X Factor back in Norway. The support I got from Falmouth was fantastic – they helped me make contacts in the industry and the International Office made sure I had everything I needed for a flying start. www.falmouth.ac.uk/ televisionproduction 21 internAtionAl Postgraduate Study Guide 2012 www.falmouth.ac.uk
