YOUR PEOPLE
Life Drawing, Women in Business, Video Gaming and Pride – these are just a few examples of the vast array of societies and student-led activities you can get involved in while studying at Falmouth. In fact, there are around 150 student societies to choose from! Joining a society is a great way to make friends outside your halls, course and year group. Make time to do what you love, find a new passion, or try something you’ve never even considered before. And who knows, you might just finish your studies as a chess champion, a beekeeping extraordinaire or a high-flying acrobat!
MarineWatch Society A group that aims to celebrate and protect the amazing Cornish aquatic wildlife, for people who are passionate about marine conservation! The society runs monthly boat trips to give students the opportunity to get up close to beautiful creatures like seals and dolphins and to conduct surveys to monitor marine mammal and bird populations. Particularly significant is the partnership with MARINElife, a UK-based charity established to coordinate and develop a growing portfolio of global cetacean and seabird research. All the data collected during excursions with MarineWatch is submitted to the charity’s national database. As part of the society, you'll also have the opportunity to take part in documentary screenings, guest speaker sessions and special events. If you love the sea and its wildlife, this society is for you.

SU Help Refugees SU Help Refugees is a student-led volunteering project, dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the charity Help Refugees. We aim to spread love, educate one another and ultimately build a community between students and local/international refugees. As a refugee support group, we run fundraising events throughout the year that include jumble, bake and craft sales. We also run informative workshops such as film screenings, table talks on debated/current situations and guest speakers, providing students opportunities to engage with.
Kayaking Society Try kayaking with us for a friendly, relaxed adventure seeing Cornwall from a perspective that no one else can! Come join us for our weekly skills sessions for those of any ability in the warmth of Ships and Castles swimming pool. Or join us on the weekend where we’ll take you out and about paddling or surfing the Cornish coast, running a river or exploring the waterways nearby. Throughout the year we take part in several national events, such as the National Student Rodeo in Nottingham, Polzeath Surf Trip and Teifi Tour in Wales. We’re not limited to the UK either – we’ve been abroad to Slovenia where we paddled and learnt river skills and it was a blast!
