Why choose Anglia Ruskin? (continued)

“Having studied at CRIC through the Foundation pathway, I was able to integrate well into the Cambridge city life.

All of my studies were on campus which made me feel more comfortable in my surroundings. We were part of our own small group and had a close relationship with our lecturers

which prepared me to understand what was expected of me for my degree.”

Cassey Alexander, BSc (Hons) Psychology, Malaysia

Choose yourpostgraduate pathwayA postgraduate pathway is a single course comprising two stages of study; Pre-Masters and Masters. When you successfully complete the full pathway you will be awarded a Masters degree from Anglia Ruskin University.

Pre-MastersThe Pre-Masters course is Stage 1 of the postgraduate pathway, and is one semester in duration (for Art and Design two semester Pre-Masters is also available). It has been designed to prepare students who have not qualified for direct entry to Anglia Ruskin University’s Masters degrees, for postgraduate level studies.

Undertaking a Pre-Masters course will provide you with the time to adjust to the rigorous research and independent study requirements of postgraduate studies and prepare you to get the most out of your postgraduate study at ARU.

A CRIC postgraduate pathway provides you with valuable insight into postgraduate level studies in the UK. Most importantly, it will equip you with the appropriate knowledge and skills you need to excel in your chosen taught Masters degree.

All Pre-Masters courses are taught at the Cambridge campus. Depending on your chosen degree, you may need to change to the Chelmsford campus for the remainder of your studies.
