Christmas at ARU

This Christmas, we're celebrating ARU Magical Moments.

We’ve won some prestigious awards over the past 18 months, including a TEF Gold award for the quality of our education and the Times Higher Education University of the Year 2023.

Looking behind the accolades and the prizes though, what exactly is it about ARU that makes it such a magical place to study? Is it the students, the tutors, the lectures, the campus or is it events, the socials or the sport?

We're sharing a selection of our favourite ARU Magical Moment blogs and videos here and on our social media channels using the hashtag #ARUMagicalMoments.
