About the university

Why students choose Anglia Ruskin University

A large modern university with campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough. Strong in health, nursing and allied professions, and one of the more accessible routes to studying in the Cambridge area.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
