An education that is personalised
We give you the facilities of a larger university within a more intimate and personalised setting, providing you with high-quality teaching and amazing student support. Our academic staff will get to know you, your skillset, and the bespoke mentoring you need to take the next step in your journey. At Cumbria, you are never just a number; your lecturers will know you by name.

The opportunity to study in inspirational surroundings
With campuses in Carlisle, Lancaster, Ambleside, London, and Barrow-in-Furness, we pride ourselves on taking inspiration from our roots to educate and nurture the next generation. Our incredible locations include World UNESCO sites as well as countryside, coastal, and city surroundings. No matter which campus you study at, you'll benefit from a real "home from home" experience.
Support with all areas of student life
Coming to university is such an exciting time, but we know it’s a big step and that you may need additional support and guidance so you can make the most of your university experience. That’s why our expert teams are on hand to assist you with all aspects of student life, be it finance, wellbeing, disability, inclusivity, or something else.
