ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY

Anglia Ruskin’s history starts in 1858 when the art critic and philanthropist John Ruskin started the Cambridge School of Art. The Art School grew to become Anglia Ruskin University and is still at the heart of our modern-day campus in Cambridge. Besides Cambridge, the university has campuses in Chelmsford, London and Peterborough.

In recent years the university has invested over £100 million in its campuses. It has also created the Anglia Ruskin Enterprise Academy (AREA) a central hub for start-ups, ideas generation and innovative projects. The University’s School of Medicine opened in September 2018 training future doctors in state-of-the-art clinical laboratories, with simulation rooms and an anatomy suite. The school of Medicine is in close collaboration with 5 hospitals in the UK.

Before you choose

Talk to a careers/guidance adviser.
Visit www.ucas.com to get more information and compare the courses and universities that interest you. When you apply, you can select up to five choices.
Do a keyword search on UCAS – if there’s a specific course title or course combination you want to do, type it directly into the UCAS course finder engine.
Do your research carefully – check out university websites, as well as UCAS, so you get a real feel for the place.
