About The Role

With 120 years’ creative arts experience, we are on a quest to offer the highest standards of teaching and professional facilities, as well as a vibrant creative community.

Our mission is to deliver exceptional higher education and research, harnessing the fusion of creativity and technology as foundations of the future economy. We use our knowledge and expertise in these disciplines to generate positive and sustainable opportunities for all.

We now have an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer to join our established team based at the Woodlane campus at Falmouth University, Cornwall. This beautiful location makes the most of its regional context - just five minutes from the beach and surrounded by a stunning tropical garden. Based in The School of Architecture, Design and Interiors (SADI) at Falmouth University this successful interior design course has recently expanded to include separate interior architecture provision (previously it was integrated into the interior design course). You will join an ambitious and cohesive course team in the delivery of an expanding rosta of specialist courses tailored to the built environment. Active engagement will be expected for the marketing of the course to ensure top quality recruitment.
