ARU London is Anglia Ruskin University's campus in the capital, based in east London's Docklands rather than at the main sites in Cambridge and Chelmsford. It teaches a focused list of business, finance, law and health management courses, with degrees awarded by Anglia Ruskin. Many students are mature learners or come in through the foundation year. Three intakes a year make it flexible on timing.

The campus is a modern teaching building rather than a traditional campus, with no halls of its own. Students rent privately or in purpose-built student housing.
East London is well connected by the DLR and the Elizabeth line, and Canary Wharf is close. Living costs are London prices, so budget more than you would outside the capital.
CAS from Anglia Ruskin University
Proof of funds for fees and living costs
English test at B2 level or above
TB test certificate, if required
Immigration Health Surcharge payment
Valid passport with blank pages
ARU London admits on a rolling basis across three intakes. Apply at least three months ahead of your start date so there is time for the CAS and visa.
There are three intakes a year, in January, May and September, for most courses.
You'll apply for a Student visa. Anglia Ruskin University gives you a CAS number once your offer is unconditional and the deposit is paid. You can then apply online up to six months before the course starts, with bank evidence and the Immigration Health Surcharge.
Business management, accounting and finance, the MBA and international business are the main choices. Undergraduates need secondary results and IELTS 6.0. Master's courses need a bachelor's degree and IELTS 6.5.
Anglia Ruskin offers some international scholarships and early payment discounts that may apply to London students. Check with ARU London admissions.
