Already home to 200 students from over 35 different countries since September, the CRIC launch forms part of Anglia Ruskin University’s ambitious internationalisation programme.

Vice Chancellor, Prof. Michael Thorne said: “Anglia Ruskin University’s new internationalisation strategy will see the University expand its activities on a truly global scale. Our partnership with CRIC provides students with an alternative path to university life and together we will enable students to come to Anglia Ruskin University from every corner of the globe.”
