WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY Welcome to the University of Cumbria. You’ve chosen to study at a place where amazing things happen. We hope this guide helps you settle in quickly and answers some of the questions you are likely to have in your first few days here. Having said that, we know there’s no substitute for personal contact, so please do get in touch if you get stuck with anything at all – we’re proud to say we put people at the heart of everything we do. If you need more information about anything you read in this pack just go to cumbria.ac.uk/applicants/welcome/ and you’ll find our welcome page with all the contact information you need. One thing that makes the University of Cumbria unique is our locations. Our five campuses are based in Carlisle, Lancaster, London and Ambleside, the latter within the Lake District World Heritage Site. This connects us - and you - to landscapes, culture and specialist industries no other university can offer. Did you know that nine out of ten of our students go on to employment or further studies within 15 months of graduating? We’re constantly trying to improve and enhance your experiences at university too. We recently ranked number one in the UK for Quality Education in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2020. We also understand money can be a bit of a worry while you’re studying. That’s why we have a dedicated money advice and finance team who can help, and we try to keep costs down on campus too. Our accommodation is ranked fourth in the UK and top in the North West for providing the best value-for-money alternative.
