University of Cumbria
We are Cumbria’s university – enriching people and place. A place of possibility. A place where amazing journeys happen. With guidance and support. Where it’s safe to be brave, to be boldly you. Where you’re seen and understood. Where knowledge changes lives, communities and business. Where stand out graduates go on to untold possibilities, making a positive difference to our world.
We believe theory is only as good as the action it inspires, which is why we are 1st in the UK and top 10 worldwide for the quality of education according to the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2020. We are amongst the best in the UK for graduate employment and top in the North West with 96% of our students getting a job or going on to further study within six months of graduating.
Here you gain insider knowledge taught by professional experts and gain real-world practical experience. Here you get more than a degree; you are equipped and supported to pursue a career.
Whatever you want to be, whatever you want to achieve at the University of Cumbria we offer a wide range of degrees across health, sports, social work, teaching, business, law, science, conservation, outdoor studies, arts, creativity, tourism, policing and more.
We are the University of Cumbria. We've got you.
From countryside to city centre, we have five campuses located in some of the country’s top locations, including two World Heritage Sites.
