    Blended learning

    All of the University's courses are changing during the first study block (term) of the 2020/21 academic year. As a result of the COVID-19 social distancing requirements, all courses will be delivered using a blended learning approach, combining physical access to our campus and facilities with increased use of our virtual learning environment and other digital tools (e.g. lectures and seminars being delivered via Microsoft Teams). In addition, all assessments have been adapted to allow for online submission.

    The documents found under 'Course updates' provide more details about how your course and modules have been adapted in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. If you have any questions on the changes you can contact the Course Leader.

    Required equipment

    Although students will have access to our campuses, we are unable to make as many of our resources available as normal (e.g. computers in the library study spaces). As a result we anticipate that all students will require, as minimum, a basic laptop computer and ready access to broadband internet. If you have any concerns about affordability of these changes, please do consider applying to the Falmouth Hardship Fund
