APU - Student View

APU Cambridge

Cambridge is without doubt one of Britain's most picturesque cities. An historic centre for learning and an excellent place to study. It is easy to reach by bus and rail and is only 25 minutes from Stansted airport. There is a library on campus, but access to Cambridge University's library can also be arranged. Competition between the city's two universities manifests itself mainly in sport, with APU performing well in local football, hockey, rowing, cricket and rugby leagues. There is a well-developed and strong Students' Union ensuring that student entertainment and welfare issues, among other things are never forgotten. There is a wide range of courses catered for at APU; that and the new building make for exciting times!
