ARU Peterborough

Apply from September 2021

We’re creating an exciting range of degree courses which are being developed with input from regional businesses, so you can be confident that you’ll learn the skills in demand by employers. Courses* start in September 2022, and you can apply from September 2021. Employers will help us to develop courses, which will be taught through a mixture of campus lessons and work-based learning.

There will also be a range of degree apprenticeships developed in partnership with regional employers in the following areas.

These are subject to approval and may change.

At ARU we value students from a wide range of educational backgrounds, and we are looking at ways to make it possible for students, of all ages, to reach the entry requirements for degree study, such as ‘access to higher education’ courses (equivalent to Level 3) offered by partner colleges.
