My time at Falmouth was completely brilliant. I learnt loads from amazing tutors who gave me the confidence to see I wasn’t just studying journalism – I was preparing to be a journalist. While at Falmouth, I did work experience at FRONT magazine which was hugely valuable International and led to a job when I left. Now, I’m editor of FHM, deciding what goes in the magazine, reinventing partnerships its profile and speaking to younger readers as well as the current readership. Being taught by University College people who actually worked in journalism was important, because we found out what it was Falmouth has in really like in the industry.

Who Katharina Walsh What BA(Hons) Theatre

It was amazing to have a real solid, supportive relationship with my tutors – that really made it for me. They were able to help our student theatre company, Massive Owl, tour at several international festivals while still on the course. We’d also meet lots of visiting artists and talk to them about their professional and artistic approaches. The tutors are all practising artists, which is also really helpful. Networking through them, I’ve made a lot of important connections through friends and colleagues of my tutors. That open network has also spilled over into the time after graduation, which has been really important. It’s incredible how much the course has helped me.

I talked to my art teacher and she said if I wanted to be taken seriously in the creative industry I should look into the courses at Falmouth. The lecturers were brilliant and as they all still work in the industry we were always kept up to date with what was going on in the big wide world. In our third year we were given industry mentors and through mine I secured a five-week internship at an animation company called Spider Eye in Cornwall. The internship went really well and when it finished I was offered a position as a production coordinator. I’m now assistant producer here and have worked on Horrid Henry University College for CITV and Jungle Junction for Disney, which is shown worldwide.

I love the feeling of creative community on campus; walking around you’d always bump into your friends and stop for a chat.
