What is ARU Peterborough?
Driven by the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority in collaboration with Peterborough City Council and Anglia Ruskin University, ARU Peterborough will provide transformational and inclusive higher education for the city and region.
ARU Peterborough is working with regional employers as co-creators in developing and delivering the curriculum, meaning the skills students learn will be those most demanded by local employers.
Courses are offered in the areas of Business, Marketing, Creative and Digital Arts, Agriculture and the Environment, Engineering, Health, Social Care and Education.
Courses will be delivered through a mixture of on campus tuition, work-based learning and Degree Apprenticeships, with distance learning and outreach programmes to improve accessibility and widen participation.

It will provide new opportunities for the region’s promising students including those who may not have considered a university education before.
ARU Peterborough is working closely with partners and employers across the city to secure placements for students, and to help ensure graduates have good employment opportunities to stay in the region after they have completed their studies.
ARU Peterborough will have architecturally leading, environmentally friendly, and state-of-the-art facilities with specialist teaching space including skills labs.
