About Us…
Anglia Ruskin University was awarded university status in 1992. Today, with a student population of 25,500, we are one of the largest universities in the East of England, and a large provider of part-time education.
Our students are on courses leading to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as to a range of professional qualifications. In addition to being one of the most significant suppliers of nurses and teachers to the professions, we offer an ever-expanding range of contemporary courses designed to meet the needs of the individual and the requirements of a knowledge-based economy.
Our main campuses at Cambridge and Chelmsford attract students not only from the East of England but in increasing numbers from mainland Europe and from further afield. In addition, our University has an extensive network of contacts with institutions throughout the world, delivering courses in countries as far removed as Malaysia and Trinidad.
At Anglia Ruskin we believe that excellent facilities are essential in providing the support and resources required to make the most of your studies. That's why in the in the last five years we have invested over £80 million in our campus developments.
Our Cambridge campus is currently undergoing redevelopment which, on completion in 2011, will boast a brand new business school, improved library services, lecture theatres and rehearsal spaces.
We're continually working to provide quality learning and social environments to ensure you get the best overall student experience.
