BSc Animal Behaviour

The Penryn Campus is in a beautiful location, and having a shop, bar and gym all on campus is useful in the first year while you’re still getting used to the area. There is also a lot of support on the campus. At the start of this year I was allocated a student mentor and have recently had training on the equipment provided to me by the Disabled Students’ Allowances, both of which have been very helpful for getting me through my third year.

Sharing the campus with Falmouth University means that there is a really nice mix of people and there are lots of societies in many different areas.

MSc Conservation and Biodiversity

I have really enjoyed the diversity of people on campus, and the passion of the lecturers and how excited they are about their topics!

When I first arrived in Cornwall it was very overwhelming. The Penryn Campus is very different to where I come from in the Maldives, but I love it now and couldn’t recommend it enough. The campus is very beautiful, and a fantastic place to study!

BSc Environmental Science

The most enjoyable aspect of my course is how personal it is. As Penryn is a small campus, you very quickly become familiarised with your peers and lecturers, and this leads to a relaxed yet engaging atmosphere in lectures and practicals.

Another bonus of my course is the focus on field-based learning. Within the first two months, I had already been on my first residential trip to the south-west of Cornwall. Since then, I’ve undertaken numerous field days as well as a week residential trip in the Isles of Scilly at the end of my second year.

MSc Mining Geology

Studying in Cornwall has been really good. The facilities are great, there are several different types of labs, a lot of space for learning and loads of learning resources.

The lecturers are always really helpful, supportive and there when you need them. The MSc Mining Geology programme has been really good as it covers all the aspects of all the different types of Geology. I’ve been able to learn a broad range of skills and the field trips have been great.

Heinrich

LLB Law with Business

I enjoy that LLB Law with Business offers a unique learning opportunity by combining the two principles together. It’s particularly great for me as I have an interest in going into corporate/commercial law.

Lecturers are always supportive and helpful all the time. I’ve made a lot of friends, have settled in well… and of course it’s nice to be near the beach!

Olly

BSc Business

Studying at the 樱花动漫 in Cornwall was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The BSc Business degree was diverse, exciting and engaging and the university experience was unbeatable.

My personal highlights of the course include the focused cohort, the real-world opportunities to apply learning and the passionate lecturers. If you commit to the programme you really reap the rewards in terms of employability, key networking skills and a wealth of industry contacts.
