MSc Animal Welfare and Conservation

Anglia Ruskin University

Excellent student support from Student Union, tutors and mentors, through Mental Health and Disability Teams, to focusing on practical aspects and helping with future careers and employability. Nothing to improve, just keep working towards the same direction and expand.

As a commuting student, I like that my course can enable me to stay for the majority of the day and get the most out of the educational aspects of university life. I really enjoy my course and the lecturers are really knowledgeable. The study spaces are great and I feel the uni life suits me well. However the social side of university, I do struggle with since I have concerns about getting home using public transport and most events are held on days when I wouldn’t come into lectures and have to pay out more to get here. High living costs at my campus have stopped me from living on campus alongside a small loan but I wouldn’t want to stay on campus either way because of the possibility of getting bad roommates

The university gives a homely feeling,the student union is very supportive..we get the urge to come and study at the University..also we get ample support from the lecturers and the faculty.The celebrations conducted at the University is so wholesome and we get experience a piece of our home in the university thus lessening the homesickness.

ARU has been very welcoming and helpful in my transition to taking one of their courses. I am a study abroad student from the United States, and ARU has definitely given me a good experience so far!

Best aspects have been the support the university has given when I've struggled as a student. Worst aspect has been sometimes finding the information online on their hub.
