Why postgrad? — The Postgraduate Edge Postgraduate study has broad purpose and appeal – and Falmouth offers the support, expertise, facilities and community to make your dreams and aspirations a reality. — Are you a recent graduate wanting to gain specialised skills and further your knowledge base? — Has your career lost momentum and you need to extend your practice and explore new themes, skill sets and ways of working? — Do you dream of a new career entirely but don’t know where to start? — Would you like to learn more about a subject that has always interested you but you’ve never had time to pursue it? Whatever your motivation, postgraduate study gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in your chosen specialism, enabling you to develop a wide range of skills and enjoy new experiences while at the same time significantly increasing your earning potential. MA or PhD? An MA will provide you with technical skills and insight for a chosen field for your future career. A PhD allows you to undertake in-depth research into an area of specific interest, developing and using a specific methodology to generate new knowledge in the field, and you’ll graduate as a research professional. Whichever you choose, Falmouth will provide you with the training, support and guidance to pursue your selected profession. Falmouth offers: — An inspiring environment for your studies, combining the beautiful and relaxing Cornish landscape with cutting-edge facilities — A diverse range of national and international partnerships and creative networks — Enviable industry connections and a stimulating, lively, research-active community that nurtures innovation, collaboration and enterprise — UCF has a phenomenal reputation for producing journalists who reach the highest level of their field. Before I arrived, I had met several graduates who were working in newsrooms, so I knew it would be the right place to study. SCOtt RObeRtS MA Multimedia Broadcast Journalism graduate www.falmouth.ac.uk/mmbroadcastjournalism — Professional expertise Our staff have years of professional experience, with many of them still active practitioners in their fields, and are always there to offer support and direction, helping you to both develop new ways of working and to build on your existing skill set. You’ll also gain inspiration from the many visiting professionals and their diverse range of lectures and workshops.
— Without the Professional Writing MA I wouldn’t be where I am today. The tutors steered me towards working in non-fiction and convinced me I could write comically (something I had never tried before). Within two years of leaving Falmouth I was offered a book deal with Random House and I’ve just finished my second book. GAReth MAy MA Professional Writing graduate www.falmouth.ac.uk/professionalwriting — — I spent many years exploring various avenues to fuse my practice in travel writing and professional surfing with a PhD… Falmouth presents a wonderful opportunity for intermodal research in Cornwall.
