Falmouth is mainly known as a pretty seaside town in Cornwall but it’s also a university town, home to Falmouth University.
Are you planning to study here? Want to know more about Falmouth before you accept a place? Want somewhere warm and safe to stay while you study in town? Sanctuary Students can help!
We have high-quality, low-cost Falmouth university accommodation. It’s calledHenry Scott Tuke House and we’re going to tell you all about it!
Falmouth University is regarded as the best arts university in the country according to the Times and Sunday Times. That’s no real surprise considering Dawn French is Chancellor!
It’s not just about the arts though. You can also study architecture, AI for games, business and digital marketing, entrepreneurship and innovation, business finance, data science and many more courses.
The emphasis really is on arts though, with everything from creative writing to costume design on the curriculum.
Even though Falmouth University is ranked top for arts, it doesn’t have the same reputation or mystique as some of the bigger, more well-known universities. We think that’s a good thing. The more people know about Falmouth, the tougher the competition to get in!
The university is located by the town centre with another campus in Penryn, a few miles away. It’s a short walk from town, the harbour and everything that’s going on.
It’s also a short walk from Henry Scott Tuke House, managed on behalf of the university by Sanctuary Students.
Henry Scott Tuke House is nestled in the vibrant heart of Falmouth, a welcoming home from home for 156 Falmouth University students.
Comprising 11 distinct blocks, the accommodation offers a cosy haven during your time here. We think it’s amazing and easily the best uni accommodation for a student in Falmouth!
Each flat has five well-appointed en-suite bedrooms. Each bedroom is thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable bed, ample wardrobe space, and a convenient study area.
Your safety is paramount. Blocks are monitored round-the-clock by CCTV. Access to each block is restricted to authorised students only, ensuring complete security.
Alongside competitive pricing, all rents for Henry Scott Tuke House in Falmouth include bills. The rent you see is all you need to pay!

Falmouth is located on the south coast of Cornwall, not far from Land’s End. It’s an amazing spot, close to the beach and some of the county’s best landmarks.
It’s not the largest town in the world but it’s one of the prettiest. A mix of old world and new, with narrow streets, historic buildings and brand-new architecture all mixed up.
The town has the relaxed vibe Cornwall is so famous for, with laid-back locals, friendly visitors and easy access to surf shops and beaches.
Henry Scott Tuke House is just minutes from Falmouth University, which means minutes from the town centre.
It’s by Berkley Avenue, which is a main route into town with frequent buses. You won’t need a bus though as it’s only a couple of minutes’ walk into the town centre and to the main university campus.
It’s close to Phoenix Falmouth Cinema, The Packet Station, Falmouth Library, Tesco Express, Falmouth Prince of Wales Pier Landing, the ferry to St Mawes and everything Falmouth has to offer.
Student accommodation in Falmouth is plentiful but can be expensive. Even though this is deepest Cornwall, properties are scarce, and competition is high.
The locals all want somewhere to live and holiday accommodation is big business here. That means rents can be high and quality is a real mixed bag.
