Anglia Ruskin University was awarded university status in 1992. Today, with a student population of 31,000, the University is one of the largest universities in the East of England.
The 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, they offer an ever expanding range of contemporary courses designed to meet the needs of the individual and the requirements of a knowledge-based economy.
The 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 many countries such as Singapore and Malaysia.

Cambridge and Chelmsford both offer a huge variety of things to see and do outside of your studies, and the campuses in both cities are large and modern, with state of the art facilities.
