Affordability

ARU London provides you with the core textbooks needed in your modules. I know that at most universities you have to pay around ÂŁ300 on books for classes, whereas at ARU London they are provided for you free of charge.

There is no getting away from it: studying for a university degree in the UK can be expensive.

With many UK universities now charging students from the UK and elsewhere in the EU up to £9,000 a year for undergraduate tuition – and often substantially more to students from overseas and/or for postgraduate courses – we know that many prospective students, and their parents, worry about graduating with large debts or fear they cannot afford to go to university at all.

ARU London can help ease these worries in a number of ways.

For entry in September 2016, tuition fees start at £8,000 for a standard undergraduate degree programme.

But low tuition fees are only part of our story: • The way in which we timetable your lectures and tutorials provides you with a great opportunity to work part-time. You could therefore put the money you earn from parttime work towards your fees and living costs instead of taking out a loan or relying on an advance from your parents. International students are entitled to work up to 20 hours a week during term time.

• Our academic timetable will also help you minimise your travel costs should you decide to continue living at home or find accommodation some distance from the campus.

• Your ARU London fee includes a free copy of the core text book for each module – you will not receive a list of expensive books that need to be bought, as is common elsewhere.

• All eligible UK and EU students are entitled to take out a loan from Student Finance to cover tuition fees and living expenses. These loans do not have to be paid back until you are earning at least £21,000 per year.

“

At ARU London, hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. It goes beyond academic achievement, as it opens a wide door of opportunities and rewards. Being a part of the institution means you can achieve anything, provided you stay focused and work hard.”

Employability

“ My lecturers at ARU London helped me write a really effective CV when I was applying for the internship at King & King, and they gave me some invaluable tips for interview techniques which I found really helpful."

“As a result I got the internship at King & King, and now have a permanent job as a trainee accountant with the company so it’s worked out perfectly – I couldn’t have asked for it to be any better. I get to study theory at ARU London and receive on-the-job training with my employers.”

Andrea Mascarin graduated in 2014 having completed a 2 year paid internship with King and King and has now received a permanent position.

“

ARU London offer you the opportunity to get a work placement in the sector you’re studying is a real bonus because more than anything right now, employers value experience.”

• Our scheduling of lectures and tutorials optimise the chance of meaningful part-time work. A part-time job in the right sector can help hone your business acumen and boost your credentials with prospective employers.

• We have worked closely with key employers to design courses to meet the future needs of the industry. On our undergraduate and postgraduate courses within the field of Healthcare or Hospitality every student gets a high quality educational experience together with a paid full-time work placement to give them the perfect mix of practical and academic skills.

At ARU London we believe that all students should expect a business-orientated education to lead to a business-orientated career and we do all we can to ensure this happens.

• We take great pride in ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary knowledge and understanding and those all-important transferable skills for the world of work. ARU London students graduate with the required work ethic, finely tuned analytical and problem solving abilities and the ambition to overcome challenges. All of which go towards ensuring a successful future career.

• Our careers advisors make use of the latest online facilities to ensure that before students start their search for a post-graduation job, they are knowledgeable about the varied and wide-ranging career opportunities that are open to them; they know how to construct an attractive employer-friendly CV, they have acquired successful interview techniques and they understand how to ensure that isometric and aptitude tests show off their strengths to the best advantage.

• At ARU London we encourage our students to work closely with our key employers in order to maximise their chances of finding meaningful work during or after their degree. We regularly host Employers Fairs, which gives students the chance to gain valuable insight into the demands of employers in a variety of industries.

At our last fair we hosted employers ranging from Hyatt in the hospitality industry to St Matthews in the healthcare industry.

With this aim in mind, all our undergraduate degree courses include a module in the first year on Business Skills.

As a student destination, the attractions of Central London are second to none.

In addition to the multitude of world-renowned galleries, museums and well-known tourist attractions, the centre of London offers endless choices in terms of music venues, pubs, clubs, theatres and cinemas.

For sports fans, London is home to several Premiership football clubs and Wembley Stadium. Lords Cricket Ground and Twickenham rugby ground are also close at hand.

With a total student population of around 900,000 from 200 countries, London offers an unrivalled multicultural experience and is one of the most popular student destinations in the world.

ARU London is located in the very heart of London: between Hatton Garden – the centre of the diamond and precious metals trade – and Smithfield Market, one of London’s oldest historic markets. It is on the very edge of London’s business and financial district – and many of London’s most iconic landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Old Bailey, the Barbican and now the Shard are clearly visible from ARU London.

Literally a stone's throw from Farringdon Station and a few minutes walk from Chancery Lane, ARU London can be accessed quickly from anywhere to the north, south, east or west of London.

Your learning experience at ARU London On all of our undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses you will have a minimum of 12 hours’ lectures and tutorials a week.

In addition masterclasses and employability workshops are offered weekly – these are designed to give students the chance to clarify any misunderstandings and to debate important topics.

In addition to the core lectures, tutorials and masterclasses there are regular guest lectures and optional short courses.

ARU London’s online campus, ‘My ARU London’, provides students with a wealth of additional information, including lecture notes and access to a range of study material.

Each course module is delivered through a combination of large group lectures – where the main ideas and concepts are presented – and tutorials where students are broken into smaller groups for an interactive discussion and analysis of the lecture content.

At ARU London, rather than spread out your lectures and tutorials unevenly over the course of the working week – as is usual at a more traditional university – we concentrate your 12 hours of contact time into four intensive three hour blocks, across just two or three days. These 12 hours per week are supported by masterclasses and guest lectures to give you an excellent educational package.

We believe our timetable gives you the best chance of securing a meaningful part-time job during the working week and thus the chance of simultaneously enhancing your employability and of easing any money worries you may have.

You will be assessed through a mix of assignments, examinations and group work.

Support and facilities ARU London’s campus at 19 Charterhouse Street comprises six floors of teaching space, spread over a total area of some 65,000 square feet.

The prestigious facilities, close to many iconic City of London landmarks, were refurbished to a high standard in early 2011. There are now five floors devoted to teaching and rooms range in size from some that can accommodate up to 200 students in a theatre style seating arrangement, to others that are perfect for highly interactive tutorials. All rooms boast the latest audio visual equipment and there’s air conditioning for when the weather gets warm.

Also within the Charterhouse Street campus are two computer labs as well as areas where you can meet and socialise with your fellow students. The learning resource centre on

the 1st floor houses, amongst other relevant publications, copies of all the core text books and also provides desks and computers for quiet study. Students can also take advantage of three lending and two reference libraries in the local area – these include Shoe Lane Library, moments from ARU London, the Barbican Library and City Business Library.

Furthermore, ARU London students are entitled to the online facilities of Anglia Ruskin University for a huge range of business research, journals and papers.

Your student life

Student life isn’t just about academic work.

Your time at ARU London offers the opportunity not only to develop your academic and business knowledge but also to develop your social skills and confidence. It’s a time you will look back on as being a key turning point in your life.

At ARU London we do all we can to ensure you quickly make new friends and feel at home here.

In particular, ARU London’s Student Society plays an active part in helping students enjoy a range of social activities away from lectures.

The Student Society is run by students with support from ARU London and provides a social forum as well as the chance to network with students on other courses, including international students from all around the world.

I 14

As activities are planned and organised by students, members get the chance to practise key business skills including marketing, budgeting and managing people. Every activity or club is a chance to learn as well as enjoy.

In recent months the Society has organised a number of parties, sports events, visits to London attractions, talent contests as well as guest lectures featuring speakers from the world of business.

“ Within the Student Council we wanted to offer social events, parties and sports for students to enjoy aside from studying.”

"We organised the Freshers ball last year and have a football match coming up against Exeter. Any student can take part and those who don’t can go along to support our teams.”

Making your views known

At ARU London, your opinions matter. We are committed to listening to our students and taking their views into account in the development of our course and their delivery.

ARU London’s Student Council serves as the official student voice within ARU London.

Chaired by the President, who is elected from amongst the student representatives sitting on the Council, the Council has the specific responsibility of representing the interests of the student body and of communicating any issues raised by faculty or administration to students.

Over the course of your time at ARU London, you will be offered a number of opportunities to provide feedback on your course and your lecturers and to have your say generally on how the School is run. The School regularly conducts surveys and student representatives sit on a number of ARU London’s Committees.

Sitting on Student Council also builds key business skills for students: communication methods, formal meetings, minutes and decision making. This all adds to a graduate’s CV and goes some way to explaining the popularity and competition for places.

practical side of business. As a consequence of our academic staff remaining actively involved in business practice, cutting edge subject development is regularly brought in to the classroom content.

Many of our Business and Management courses share a common first year. This allows you to gain a broad understanding of the key areas of business which will enable you to appreciate the importance of the different functions – such as HR, marketing and finance – to the overall success of the organisation. This will help you in your future career irrespective of the path you take.

We know it can be difficult to decide the exact direction you wish your studies to take. The structure of our business and management pathways allows you to transfer to one of our other degree courses, should you wish to do so.

You therefore do not need to decide your area of specialisation now; you can do so after you join ARU London.

“ During my first year at ARU London

I did a law module and really enjoyed it, and realised I wanted to carry it forward as part of my degree.

BSc (Hons) Finance and Accounting Overview The finance and accounting degree is specifically designed for those students who wish to go on, after graduation, to become a qualified accountant in order to pursue a career, either in professional practice, or in corporate finance.

For this reason, the degree has been structured to provide the maximum possible number of exemptions – 9 papers in total – from the professional examinations of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, the global body for professional accountants.

The degree syllabus has been carefully designed to combine the intellectual and practical aspects of finance and accountancy and so provide students with the required academic rigor, tempered with professional realism.

In addition, the degree explores the concepts of business culture and business ethics: and introduces the key management functions across the whole spectrum of business activity. The result is that graduates are equipped with an array of transferable business skills, as well as technical knowledge of finance and accountancy practice.

Below are indications of the modules you will study Year 1 • Business Environment • Business Skills • Business Planning • Introduction to Financial Accounting Year 2 • Legal Aspects of Business • Managing Business Performance • Financial Reporting for Business • Taxation for Business Year 3 • Financial Management in Organisations • Business Strategy • Financial Auditing • Major Project

I initially thought about studying business studies but chose accounting and finance as I’d enjoyed accounting more at A Level.

Some people may not realise but studying finance actually offers lots of career choices: you could go on to work in auditing, or maybe specialise in taxation, or perhaps become a management consultant or a chartered accountant.
