Who we are
The University of Cumbria is fully committed to delivering exceptional and professional higher-level learning to meet the demands of an ever evolving workforce and emerging markets. We do this by expanding opportunities, deepening connections to industries, filling specific regional skills gaps, and building partnerships with local enterprises, while equipping all students with the ability to thrive wherever in the world they choose to live.
Making a difference
Our campuses are located in Carlisle, Lancaster, Ambleside; where we are the only UK university within a National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and on East India Dock Road in London. Being based at these key historical locations throughout Cumbria and North Lancashire allows the university to understand, work with, and benefit from a large network of institutions and communities. We also have a campus on East India Dock Road in London, enabling us to extend our reach and connect with the capital.
With a proud history offering arts, business, law, policing, science, conversation, sport, health, social care, rehab and teacher training programmes to people nationwide, the institution is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary as the University of Cumbria. It enriches people by providing a safe and supportive environment, as well as innovative academic opportunities, such as providing degree apprenticeships, CPD and foundation courses through further education partners, making the impossible possible for more students.
