We are Cumbria’s University – enriching people and place. A place of and for our community. 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.

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.

Our courses will provide you with a fulfilling university experience and opportunities that will help you grow academically and personally. Many of our undergraduate programmes offer experiential learning modules and opportunities for work placements.

We offer exciting research-informed academic studies, professionally focused courses and technical skills so you can achieve your future career ambitions. We enrich our students so that they can realise their potential and achieve life-changing outcomes.
