With campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford, London and Peterborough as well as a number of partner institutions in the UK and overseas we’re academically ambitious for ourselves and our students. Anglia Ruskin’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, and it’s still at the heart of our modern-day campus in Cambridge. Over the years, a number of colleges and institutes have become part of Anglia Ruskin. They include the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology (CCAT) and the Essex Institute of Higher Education. We’re proud to count graduates of all these institutions among our alumni. We have 5 faculties: - Lord Ashcroft International Business School - Faculty of Arts, Law & Social Sciences - Faculty of Health, Social Care & Education - Faculty of Science & Technology - Faculty of Medical Science And 6 research centres: - Postgraduate Medical Institute (PMI) - The Childhood and Youth Research Institute (CYRI) - Global Sustainability Institute (GSI) - Institute of International Management Practice (IIMP) - Cultures of the Digital Economy (CoDE) - Veterans and Families Institute (VFi) Our MedTech Campus is one of the world’s largest health innovation spaces. The Degrees at Work project has boosted the availability of higher education in the workplace. And Ixion, a not-for profit group and university subsidiary, provides enterprise support to 5,000 start-ups.
