  • The course has been amazing, i learnt so much. The best thing about the course was the lecturers as well as the learning environment. The University facilities are all good and kind of new. The support offered by the uni (both academic and personal) is extraordinary. I am referring here to the feedback I have received and also the counselling. A very positive experience! Would highly recommend Anglia Ruskin University.

  • The Science department is splendid; the conveyance of subject matter is fascinating and locks in. The teachers are exceptionally enthusiastic about their subjects, and its awesome to have the capacity to gain information about their latest studies. The social groups are awesome, a great blend so there will undoubtedly be one that interests you (I adore the untamed life society). There are some awesome offices, for example, the library, business department, and understudies union.
