The first thing that stands out to me is that ARU has five different campuses, which is pretty unique and they all have different student life and benefits to them with various courses to study. All of the campuses have great proximity to London, which I think is a significant advantage, especially for networking and job opportunities. Many courses are career-oriented, with connections to industry and placement opportunities. Both of my practicum placements were in the NHS, which were amazing learning opportunities which helped me land a job in the NHS after my studies. Support includes employability programs, internships, and career counselling as well. ARU is highly regarded for its business, nursing, healthcare, and engineering programs too. I think there are lots of international students and people from around the world, which I really liked. ARU welcomes students from over 185 countries. I liked having a diverse cohort and learning from various perspectives. Global week is such a special time at ARU where all cultures are celebrated and I think the university does a great job of supporting diversity and a sense of belonging.

What tips do you have for successfully adjusting to life studying abroad?
Studying abroad at Anglia Ruskin takes some adjusting, but it’s definitely doable! The hardest parts for me were homesickness, learning the UK academic style (lots of independent study and essay writing), and managing money since living costs can add up. What surprised me was how easy it was to meet people. Lots of international students are in the same boat abd the staff are approachable if you need help. ARU has great support services (Student Services, International Office, Academic Skills workshops), and joining societies or the Student Union is the fastest way to make friends. My tip: budget smartly, get involved early, and don’t be afraid to ask for help, you’ll settle in much quicker than you expect!
