anglia.ac.uk/studyabroad
Global. Ambitious. World-leading. ARU is an innovative global university. 40,000 students from 177 countries gain qualifications with us in six continents. We’re academically ambitious for ourselves and our students. We’re purposeful, challenging and curious about our world. We’re a place where collaboration, research and scholarly activity informs everything we do. While our head is full of ambition, our feet are planted in the world around us. We pride ourselves on being as enterprising as we are innovative and nurture those qualities in our students. That, and our sheer can-do attitude, set us apart. We find that enthusiasm is infectious, letting the results speak for themselves.
Courses With twelve areas of officially recognised world leading research, ARU offers a plethora of challenging and stimulating courses. With a vast number of subjects to choose from (over 250!), we guarantee you’ll find something you love in a country you’ll never forget. Study Abroad students must select at least 30 credits of modules per semester from the same department and then may choose an additional 30 credits from across the curriculum (provided you have met any pre-requisites). Students will take 60 ARU credits per semester. Your main department will be your first port of call for all academic and course guidance.
Punting on the river in Cambridge
Locations Study Abroad programmes are offered in Cambridge and Chelmsford, both widely considered to be among the best places to live in the UK and are safe and easy to get around. Cambridge is world-famous as a seat of learning and culture. Chelmsford is a vibrant city in the county of Essex. Both cities are within an hour of London, so you can enjoy all that our capital city has to offer, or easily catch a flight further afield for a long weekend.
Student life Our Cambridge campus is right in the heart of the city and within a short walk of countless exciting opportunities, including shopping, cinemas, restaurants, museums, sports facilities, music venues, and of course pubs. If it’s green open spaces you like, Cambridge has plenty of parkland to offer. Or, you can try your hand at punting on the River Cam.
With modern buildings set in landscaped grounds next to the River Chelmer our Chelmsford campus is the base for many cutting edge courses and research programmes. The city centre is within walking distance offering many clubs, restaurants, pubs, shopping, cinemas and live music venues. Your Study Abroad experience with ARU is your opportunity to grow, experience new things, and become an independent, more-rounded person. But you won’t be on your own. We have an award-winning Student Services team who are here to support you, and our International Student Advice Service is recognised as amongst the best. As an Anglia Ruskin Study Abroad student you’ll be enrolled as a regular student and will benefit from all of our facilities. You’ll automatically become a member of the Students’ Union (SU), an independent body which looks after your interests and organises the clubs and societies (over 100!), outings and events.
Accommodation We offer a wide range of accommodation for you to choose from, including residence halls on- and off-campus (based on availability), shared student houses, and host families. You will be able to apply for accommodation as soon as you have accepted an offer to study, and we strongly recommend you do not delay.

“My exchange program at Anglia Ruskin University was such a great experience. The program was absolutely brilliant, bringing quality education provided by excellent courses, endless adventures in the wonderful city of Cambridge, and an amazing learning environment that was engaging and practical. The people at the University are extremely nice, helpful, and want you to be successful. I am so glad I studied abroad, I would recommend ARU to anyone interested.� Jordan
