Penna plc - Regent Arcade House, Argyll Street London W1F 7TS Home / Introduction to our University Introduction to Anglia Ruskin University Awarded university status in 1992, we are one of the largest campus-based universities in the country with over 31,000 students.  We are based on two main campuses in Cambridge and Chelmsford. In the last five years we have attracted over £81 million for infrastructure development and hence benefit from state of the art learning and teaching facilities including a range of specialist study facilities. We have an overriding commitment to widening participation and we have developed a structure that provides distributed delivery, thereby providing learning resources widely across a region that has a largely dispersed rural population, significant pockets of rural and urban deprivation and a poor public transport network.  As part of this, in addition to our two main campuses, we have developed an innovative network of linked further and higher education institutions across the East of England, primarily based in Peterborough, Harlow and King's Lynn, but also with joint ventures with higher education colleges in Stansted and in the Thames Gateway.  We seek to provide an academic curriculum that is adaptable to individual needs and the requirements of the regional labour market, offering modular programmes, part-time, distance and other flexible learning and our success has been recognised through our high employability record. We attract an increasing number of international students from both within and outside the EU. Postgraduate numbers are also increasing with the objective of 25% of all activity to be at postgraduate level and for at least 50 PhDs to be awarded across a minimum of 10 disciplines each year. We are also recognised for the standing of our research.  In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise the Times Higher Education tables placed it top of the modern universities for Psychology, second for English Language and Literature and third for History.  Eight areas had their work rated as world-leading: Allied Health Professions; Art & Design; English; Geography & Environmental Studies; History; Music; Psychology and Social Work; and Social Policy & Administration.
