Why choose ARU? There are many reasons. Ambition We’re not only academically ambitious for ourselves but for our students.

We're also listed in the Top 10 for social inclusion in The Times Good University Guide 2021. Students are at the heart of our University, and we're delighted that our final-year undergraduates also rate their educational experience highly Excellence We were named as the UK’s leading university for education and sports science courses in the 2021 Guardian League Table. We're especially pleased to be one of the Guardian's top 20 UK universities for ‘Value added’, which measures how well we support our students, regardless of background, towards achieving their potential.

Each year, we also help 2,000 businesses grow with interns, training, research and collaborative programmes. Impact We’re purposeful, challenging and curious about our world. Our academic excellence has been recognised by the UK’s higher education funding bodies, with 12 areas classed as generating world-leading research. We deliver impactful research which tackles pressing issues and makes a difference, from saving lives to conserving water.** Enterprise 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, with mentorship, support and start-up funding on offer through the Anglia Ruskin Enterprise Academy. Enthusiasm Our sheer can-do attitude sets us apart from others. We find that enthusiasm is infectious, letting the results speak for themselves and being the only UK university to be named a global 'rising star'.
