“

I worked with tribal people in deep forest villages as part of a UK government funded project supporting sustainable livelihoods. I chose to join the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences because of its innovative vision, mission and expertise in labour history, migration, and social justice.

Anglia Ruskin University has exceeded my expectations in the opportunities it offers to improve knowledge and research skills. Academic staff are understanding of students' particular needs, friendly and happy to help. The university has a rich collection of both electronic and paper academic resources.

Really I would like to suggest Anglia Ruskin University as a good destination for International students.”
