Join a vibrant community of educators, designers and innovators at Falmouth University, based in one of the UK’s most creative and inspiring regions.
Our Interior Architecture & Interior Design courses bring together spatial thinking, material experimentation, technology, culture and social and environmental responsibility, giving students the opportunity to question how spaces are designed and experienced.
As a Lecturer
You’ll join a forward-thinking and supportive creative community within the School of Architecture, Design & Interiors, working alongside colleagues across architecture, spatial design and related disciplines. Our students are ambitious, curious and willing to challenge conventions, and we encourage them to develop distinctive design voices while engaging critically with the complex social, cultural and environmental issues shaping the built environment.
The course is evolving rapidly, with an exciting focus on contemporary practice, emerging technologies, sustainable approaches and socially engaged design. You’ll play a key role in shaping this development, bringing your own expertise and perspective to teaching while helping students connect creative ideas with rigorous design thinking and professional practice.
Our industry-standard workshops, digital fabrication facilities, specialist studios and digital technologies provide an excellent environment for experimentation and making. The wider creative community at Falmouth also creates opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, industry engagement and new approaches to design.
Based in Cornwall, Falmouth offers an exceptional setting in which to live, work and teach. Its strong creative culture, distinctive landscape and close-knit community provide an inspiring context for educators and students alike.
