I’ve had a well rounded experience studying accounting at Anglia Ruskin university for sure.

Studying at Anglia Ruskin University has been an incredible journey. The supportive professors and engaging classes have helped me grow both academically and personally. I’ve had the opportunity to work on real-world projects, develop my skills, and achieve academic success.

What stood out to me was the university’s emphasis on practical learning and the friendly, inclusive campus community. The staff are approachable, and the resources are excellent. I’ve felt valued and encouraged throughout my studies.

I highly recommend ARU to future students. The university’s commitment to student success and its vibrant community make it an ideal place to learn and thrive.

My time at Anglia Ruskin University has been nothing short of transformative. The quality of education here is outstanding. The lecturers are not only experts in their fields but also incredibly approachable and supportive. The range of resources available, including state-of-the-art facilities, an extensive online library, and practical workshops, makes learning both accessible and engaging.
One of the standout features of my experience has been the hands-on learning opportunities. Whether through placements, internships, or real-world projects, Anglia Ruskin emphasizes practical experience, ensuring that students graduate with more than just theoretical knowledge.
The student support services are exceptional as well. From mental health resources to career guidance, there is always someone available to help when needed. There are countless clubs, societies, and events that cater to a wide range of interests, allowing for a well-rounded university experience. The university’s commitment to inclusivity and sustainability further enhances its appeal.

I started this course in January 2021, I was quite excited, to begin with as the university is highly rated. But, the first year being completely online, left a lot to be desired. The course materials were fine for the most part. Well suited for the course and well taught in their own right. But I’d say out of the five modules in the first year, I found one to be mostly useless to me. I also expected a more practical learning environment, but the first year was mostly a theoretical learning experience, which might be due to it being online only. I have recently started my second year, which is on campus, and am already feeling better about it having taken just two classes yet.

I am at the Cambridge campus, which has a very nice student life and feels very safe, relatively speaking. There are also great facilities at the university campus and many extracurriculars and groups to join. Great teaching and support staff as well. There is a very diverse crowd at the university, so no matter where one is from, you fit right in.
All in all, I would say Anglia Ruskin University is definitely worth a good look when looking for a UK business school outside of London.

Laid back and very relaxed atmosphere. The teaching is very personal and tutors are very knowledgable too. They ensure all members of the class understand a topic before moving on. Very approachable and professional too. Syllabus and timetable are easy to follow.
