Anglia Ruskin University


Location: Cambridge

ARU Edit

Cambridge has been renowned as a centre of learning since the 13th century – and Anglia Ruskin University has been in the city since 1858 when Cambridge School of Art first opened its doors.

Cambridge has been described as the 'perfect student city'.  The City is the ideal place to be a student, not only because of its rich academic history. From exploring the university colleges, visiting the museums, strolling across the Mathematical Bridge or trying punting for the first time, the programme gives a truly rounded look at everything the city has to offer.

Our campus is a stone's throw from the historic city centre with its vibrant cultural and social scene.
