About the School
Anglia Ruskin University was awarded university status in 1992. Today, in terms of our total student population of approximately 20,000, we are one of the largest universities in the country while, in terms of our part-time students, we are the most important provider of part-time higher education in the country, after the Open University.
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, the University has an extensive network of contacts with institutions throughout the world, delivering courses in countries as far removed as Malaysia and Trinidad.
