Anglia Ruskin University College - Chelmsford
About
Anglia Ruskin University's story begins in 1858 when the art critic, patron, and philanthropist John Ruskin opened the Cambridge Art School. The art school grew to become what is Anglia Ruskin University today. The Chelmsford campus was originally in the city centre but moved to a new, purpose-built site in 1992. The Chelmsford campus has also undergone an ambitious programme of development. In 1995, Her Majesty the Queen opened the fittingly named Queen's building, home to the University Library. It has since been joined by the eye-catching Lord Ashcroft building, Sawyers Building and its SuperLabs, the Michael Salmon Building, housing cutting-edge medical simulation suites, and Arise Chelmsford, which offers labs, workshops, and office space to small businesses in the medical and advanced engineering sectors.
ARU College offers undergraduate and postgraduate pathways for applicants that do not meet the requirements for direct entry, have not studied the subjects required for the chosen degree, or spent some time out of education. Following completion of the ARU College pathway, students will benefit from direct entry onto an ARU degree.
