History

The University's story starts in 1858, when the art critic, patron and philanthropist John Ruskin opened Cambridge School of Art. The art school grew to become Anglia Ruskin University, shortened to ARU.

Over the years, a number of colleges and institutes have become part of ARU. They include the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology (CCAT) and the Essex Institute of Higher Education (formerly the Chelmer Institute – itself formed from the Mid-Essex Technical College and the Brentwood College of Education). At first, these colleges combined to become Anglia Polytechnic, and then Anglia Polytechnic University in 1992.

Campuses

As well as Cambridge, the University has campuses in Chelmsford and London. A new campus will be opened in the city of Peterborough, in September 2022.

Testimonials

“University life at Anglia Ruskin helped me a lot. I feel more confident than when I first arrived, and I feel more able to see things from different perspectives. My mind and opinions on a range of things have changed since my time at Anglia, with the help of professors, friends, and tutors. It goes without saying that my academic understanding of a range of topics has been broadened and strengthened as well.”
