Photography and Journalism
If you're interested in improving your skills or just want to know how your camera works, Falmouth Marine School offers a photography tuition group once a week.
There are also opportunities for budding journalists to submit articles (reviews, art work, interviews or stories) to two student publications.
Student Union (CCSU)
The Cornwall College Student Union is there to give students a voice. They carry out a variety of activities including raising money for charity, improving campuses, supporting local and national campaigns, organising parties and securing funding for student facilities.
Every student is automatically a member of the Student Union and it's up to you how you get involved. You may choose to become a Class Rep and be the voice of your course, or play a more active role on the SU committee itself.
