Tremough

Tremough

Tremough Campus is a university campus situated in Penryn, Cornwall. It is the only such university project in Cornwall currently. The name Tremough derives from the Cornish word for "pig farm". Since the beginning of the 2011/12 academic year, signage indicates its full name to be "University Campus Tremough," rather than the previous "CUC Tremough Campus."

It is home to two university institutions: the University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus (UECC), including its renowned Camborne School of Mines, and University College Falmouth (UCF). The campus was developed as part of the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) initiative, a venture which brings together Cornwall's further education colleges with the founding members University College Falmouth, University of Exeter and University of Plymouth. The bulk of the investment in the campus has come through EU Objective One funding, matched by UK Government funding.
