We welcome applications from students of all nationalities. We'll consider the equivalency of your specific qualifications against our entry requirements and help you through every stage of the application process.

 

Our selection process and interviews

At Falmouth, we interview all applicants who demonstrate potential in their initial application. Interviews are two-way; they give you the opportunity to show your creative skills and interview us, and they help us further assess your potential in your chosen subject. You'll be invited to an interview via the Applicant Portal, which you can use to request another date or time, or to request a telephone/ online interview if you’re based outside of the UK and can’t come to the campus in person.
