CSES at Anglia Ruskin University

The CSES at Anglia Ruskin University Science & Engineering Saturday Club members use state-of-the-art equipment and the SuperLab facilities at ARU's Chelmsford campus.

Club members experience a range of hands-on science and engineering topics and visit local STEM organisations.

Each session explores the science and engineering behind real-life activities and problems that affect our daily lives. As well as professionals and academics, the Club is supported by science and engineering students, giving members a unique opportunity to talk to current university students who are already studying courses they may be interested in.
