Welcome
to our
Anglia Ruskin
University
Open Day
I am delighted to welcome you to Anglia Ruskin
University and to our Open Day.
This is our chance to show you what life is really like here at Anglia
Ruskin. Make the most of it. Talk to our staff and students and see
the facilities for yourself.
A university education is an investment, not just in the next few
years but in your future. Our aim is to help you get the most out of
that investment by giving you the opportunity to achieve your full
potential. The starting point is choosing a university that is right for
you. I hope that the courses and environment we can offer you at
Anglia Ruskin provide that exact match.

Upon arrival at our Open Day you will be welcomed by our Student Ambassadors wearing
orange t-shirts. They are here to help you make the most out of our Open Day, so look out for
them during your visit and please ask for help if you need it. Once you’ve registered we will point
you towards the Faculty that offers your course.
Talks
Our Faculties and Courses
Each course we offer is based in one of our five Faculties. We have colour coded each Faculty to
help you find them and navigate your way around the campus. If you are not sure which Faculty
your course belongs to, please ask. Look out for balloons, signage and students wearing your
Faculty colours.
Lord Ashcroft International Business School (LAIBS)
Faculty of Arts, Law & Social Sciences (ALSS)
Faculty of Health, Social Care & Education (FHSCE)
Faculty of Medical Science (FMS)
Faculty of Science & Technology (FST)
Each Faculty will be able to give you detailed information on the course (or courses) you
are interested in, including specific course content and entry requirements, and one-to-one
discussions with the academics who will be teaching you. Please refer to our talks schedule on
pages 6 & 7 for specific talks on your course or Faculty.

talks throughout the day. Please see the talks schedule on pages 6 & 7 for more information. Not
all of our courses offer a subject specific talk, but academics are available all day to discuss our
courses on a one-to-one basis.
Campus Tours

across our campuses, our University Library is well-equipped for all our students needs. Tours are

Students’ Union
When you join Anglia Ruskin you automatically become a member of the Students’ Union. The
Students’ Union is the voice of students here and our mission is to make your experience the best
it can be. To find out how visit www.angliastudent.com
Parents’ Zone
We’ve found that parents can have as many, if not more, questions about university as their
children. So, we’ve established our Parents’ Zone with useful and relevant information to reassure
yourself with and to get informed about supporting your son or daughter at university and
beyond. Visit us today on our Roadshow Bus located outside the Lord Ashcroft Building.
Societies, Recreational Clubs and Activities
Societies and recreational clubs, such as aerobics and the Mindful Midwifery society are supported by the
Students’ Union who are available today if you want to know more. They also organise the ‘Give it a Go’
sessions which are taster sessions of all sorts of activities and trips, such as visits to Harry Potter World and
Alton Towers. They can also tell you all about the lively social events that take place throughout the year.
Find Out More About Our City
Recently awarded city status, Chelmsford has lots to offer and the city centre is just a short walk
from our campus. Don’t forget to pay a visit to our Ashcroft Mezzanine today to find out more.
Free Tea & Coffee
Have a free drink on us while you are here. Tea and coffee is available all day as well as a selection
of biscuits. You can also purchase hot and cold food and drinks from Costa Coffee, near the main
reception in the Lord Ashcroft Building.
