University of Cumbria

Launched ten years ago as the University of Cumbria, we are founded on the experience and tradition of well over 150 years of higher education. We are a growing, multi-campus university that is home to over 10,000 students.

Our institution offers high quality research-informed academic studies, professionally focused programmes and technical skills to help you achieve your future career. By creating knowledge with our research, sharing information through our courses and making business connections with our placement opportunities, we help enable our students to realise their potential and achieve life-changing outcomes.

The University of Cumbria was formed in 2007 by the merger of St Martin’s College, Cumbria Institute of the Arts and University of Central Lancashire’s Cumbria sites, operating from campuses spread across Cumbria and North Lancashire. We may be a relatively new university, but we are steeped in history dating right the way back to 1822.

The university is continuing to grow, expanding in geographical terms as well as academic scope.

Why Cumbria?

Starting university is an exciting step in your life! At the University of Cumbria you'll have plenty to keep you busy outside of your studies with a variety of places to eat and drink, high quality on and off-campus sports facilities and many student clubs and societies to get involved in.

Each of our campus locations across the country has their own unique feel. Wherever you're based, there's always something for you to get involved in, and we want you to be a part of it.
