With students starting their journeys at universities up and down the country, it is no different here in Cornwall as almost 500 students are beginning a range of university courses at Truro and Penwith College.

Last week saw registration day take place at both Truro and Penwith campuses, which also featured the hustle and bustle of the Freshers’ Fair. With 329 new students starting their first year at the College and an additional 160 starting their third year with a top-up degree, there was a hive of activity throughout the day.

The Freshers’ Fair is always the perfect opportunity to discover more about university life, volunteering and social events, and this year saw a host of exhibitors, including Tempus Leisure, The Office, Cornwall Wildlife Trust, the College’s Health, Wellbeing and Sport team, Surfers Against Sewage, and Plymouth University’s Student Union (UPSU).

The opportunities to enjoy the university experience have increased as a selection of new courses have been added for 2016 (subject to approval). You could combine a sense of adventure with a passion for photography and film with FdA Adventure Media, or develop the skills to improve life for others with FdA Health and Social Care.

More pathways to Bachelor degrees have been created as well, with top-up degrees available in BA (Hons) Business and Legal Studies and BSc (Hons) Applied Sports Science.
