Anglia Ruskin University
ARU gives you the opportunity to explore who you are and discover your strengths. We provide an active, applied education that will empower you to find your purpose and gain the knowledge, skills and experience to achieve your ambitions. We measure our success by the impact we have on our students – and on the communities we serve.
We’re proud to hold a TEF Silver Award, which reflects the high quality of teaching delivered by our talented staff and means that we consistently exceed the rigorous
national quality requirements for UK higher education.
You’ll find our campuses in the heart Cambridge and Chelmsford, each with their own unique style and charm. We also have a specialist healthcare site in Peterborough, and our partnership with ARU London gives you the opportunity to study for an ARU-validated degree in the capital city.
You’ll benefit from award-winning facilities at ARU - the result of £115m of investment over the past five years. Recent additions to our campuses include our School of Medicine in Chelmsford which began training our first cohort of doctors in 2018; our Science Centre in Cambridge specifically designed to support STEM students and researchers; and two new Law Clinics offering our students the opportunity to work in real-life cases with qualified solicitors.
Our campuses and facilities are open to all, and play host to a year-round calendar of events. Come and see for yourself.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
