ARU Cambridge

There are growing concerns about how Anglia Ruskin University is handling its academic processes. Many students have reported being failed in their assignments and dissertations despite following all academic guidelines and marking criteria. Work that seems to meet the required standards is often rejected without clear or transparent justification. Additionally, there have been repeated complaints about unprofessional behaviour from some professors — including poor communication, vague or inconsistent feedback, and a lack of proper academic support. It appears that the university is more focused on collecting tuition fees than ensuring students are treated fairly and supported in their academic journey. This has left many students under emotional stress, burdened with debt, and disheartened after investing so much time and effort. A university should be a place of fairness, growth, and integrity. Serious improvements are needed at ARU to restore trust and ensure students receive the education and respect they deserve.

Very bad hostel service with high charges no security. Any outsider can come and sit in kitchen, talk louder, scream, no one to stop. Very poor management, no one to observe. It is like the administration is waiting for something bad to happen. Very unsafe for a female students or even for male students. Very bad place to stay and be safe. They do not even have toilets separate for boys and girls such a non civics sens place. A nightmare for students, I do not recommend anyone to opt for this place. Beds buggs everywhere no one to handle this worst than a under developed country college and hostel. #worstunsafeplacetolive

I went to this university in 2011-2013. (Cambridge Campus) And it did what I needed it to. Taking my daughter around today there are new bits, but behind the veneer it's very dated, and could use a revamp, but it's never about the buildings, and always about the quality of teaching so choose courses wisely!

Honestly, I want to start off by talking about the accommodation at ARU , specifically Swinhoe. The accommodation is infested with cockroaches and they will still rent it out to students knowing about the infestation.It’s honestly one of the worst things that could possibly happen to a first year student just settling into a new town. Secondly , I wanted to talk about the course and how disorganised the staff are when handing out grades.Feels like you are doing work for nothing. We are at 14th of July, our grades where suppose to be published on the 19th of June. The lectures and head of Fashion haven’t even got the decency to address the issue themselves, instead get the student rep to send out a email regarding our grades. No response to any of our email and no updates at all on when we might expect to receive them. The university is pretty useless at handling the situation.

If you have a dream of having a PhD degree, then this university is not the right place. Poor support from management, very less lab facilities, lethargic lab technicians who never support our research experiment. On top of that, very minimal funding allocation, 700 pounds for whole Phd study years!!!! Even a third rate country would allocate more funding for a research. Pathetic!!

Fish and chip friday was good. Even had a charcoal burger on the go. Staff seem friendly but Sal and kerry were the best 👌 I do wish the student server though gave better chip portions!

It would be great if I didn't get threatened with beatings my first week at this university, it was because of gender and racial discrimination, just because big men can bully a woman, and one of them was a student union worker at Ruskin University. When I told Staff about this because I was scared and crying, they said they couldn't do anything until I got real physical injuries.

didn’t process my suspension until after christmas so now I owe student finance over £3000 for something the uni were too lazy to process. thanks anglia.
