We measure our success by the impact we have on our students – and on the communities we serve. We are proud that our students rate their educational experience highly.

You’ll find our campuses in the heart Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough, each with their own unique style and charm. Our partnership with ARU London also gives you the opportunity to study for an ARU-validated degree in the capital city.

ARU gave me the ability to find new ways to create. Learn new things, new techniques, new ways of thinking that I never thought were possible. I want to impact the world in a different way and be an inspiration for people like me, coming from where I came from.
