Anglia Ruskin University

Anglia Ruskin University has campuses in two exciting cities: Cambridge and Chelmsford. CRIC has offices in both locations. Depending on your pathway study plan, you may spend your entire university life in one location. In some cases you may be required to change campuses, which will give you the opportunity to live and study in two UK cities.

Choosing to study in Cambridge will give you the chance to experience student life in a beautiful and culturally diverse city unlike any other.

An ongoing investment programme has added new facilities including art studios, and a high-tech Language Centre.
