ARU Chelmsford Campus Tours

Book a Chelmsford Campus Tour

Join us for a guided tour of our Chelmsford campus and discover what it's like to study at ARU.

During your visit, one of our friendly Student Ambassadors will show you around the campus where they study. They'll be happy to share their experiences of student life, answer your questions about studying at ARU, and tell you more about Chelmsford and the local area.

Please meet your Student Ambassador at the Lord Ashcroft Building Reception.

Before you book

Please make sure the course you're interested in is based at our Chelmsford campus before booking a tour.

ARU has multiple campuses, and some courses are taught at ARU Writtle, which is a separate campus located just outside Chelmsford. If you're interested in a subject that's delivered at Writtle, you'll need to book a Writtle campus tour instead, as the Writtle campus is not included in Chelmsford campus tours.

Bringing guests

You're welcome to bring up to two guests with you.

Please ensure that each guest books a guest ticket, not a prospective student ticket.

What you'll see

Your tour may include:

• General student facilities, including our Library, lecture theatres, teaching spaces and canteen area
• Specialist facilities used by our students, including laboratories, the School of Medicine, simulated hospital wards and the mock law courtroom
• The grounds of our Chelmsford campus and student social spaces

If you'd prefer to view accommodation in person and speak with academic staff about your course, we recommend attending one of our Open Days or Applicant Days.

ARU Writtle Campus

Please note that the ARU Writtle campus is not included as part of Chelmsford campus tours.

If you're interested in a course based at Writtle, or you'd like to see the specialist facilities available there, please book a Writtle campus tour instead.
