Kowethas Ertach Kernow (Association for Cornish Heritage) and through its partnership in Newquay Museum has worked with the lecturers and students on these courses for a number of years. Kowethas Ertach Kernow has facilitated exhibition space and assisted students on a number of projects as part of their FdA and BSc courses and looks forward to giving support to the new Archaeology FdSc course.
We have been adding these exhibitions to our website. This gives the work of students on these courses some longevity as well as enabling a wider number of people to view and learn something from the work these students have created.
